Our staff is dedicated to the development of every athlete to his/her fullest potential.
General Information:
- Check-in: Sunday, June 13th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Kearney Sports Plex
- The camp will revolve around technique sessions, dual meets, team Olympics, and a takedown tournament
- Each participant who registered by the Early Bird deadline receives a camp t-shirt
If you are planning on attending as a team, coaches must register their team first, prior to their athletes registering. This will allow coaches to receive updates as their wrestlers register, so you know who is getting registered and who is not.
Coaches will now register on the same platform as your athletes. Your head coach (or primary coach in charge) will register when you register your team. Additional coaches will register similarly to athletes, only selecting the coaches registration option. Coaches are free as always, however if you are needing meals you will need to purchase that when registering.
Individuals or Wrestlers without a team may still attend.
If you are attending on your own, you will bypass the team registration step and go straight to “Wrestler and Additional Coaches Registration.” When selecting your team, you will choose the team titled “Individual Registration (No Team)” option.
