AWA Season Programs and Camps

 Regular Season (October - March)

Part 1: October - December

This portion of the season focuses heavily on technique instruction. While tournaments are available for athletes to compete in, they are typically less frequent and more spread out on the schedule.

We generally practice 2-3 times per week. Two of these practices are dedicated to technique, lasting an hour and a half. While the third practice is a "Power Hour" session. (Power Hour is reserved for tournament wrestlers only. Mighty Mites and some Wrookie Wrestlers and not required to attend this practice) Power Hour focuses on situational live wrestling and tournament preparation.

Note: Athletes who are still competing in other fall sports are welcome to join us at any time, whether during their other sport's season or after it concludes.

Part 2: December - March

This is our main tournament season. The pace and intensity of practices increase during this period to prepare athletes for competition. We will have both local tournaments and some that require travel. While tournament participation is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged. Competing in tournaments helps wrestlers assess their strengths and weaknesses, which helps us direct them in practice.

Tournaments

All tournaments are sanctioned through USA Wrestling. To participate, your athlete must have a USA Wrestling Athlete Card. This card is mandatory for all wrestlers, regardless of whether they intend to compete in tournaments. USA Wrestling Athlete Cards can be purchased at www.usawmembership.com.
