Team Camp Concept

Goal: The goal of these camps is to provide an opportunity for high schooland jr. high school teams to compete against outside competition during thesummer. It is an excellent opportunity for your team to get ahead of thecompetition by getting in some tough matches during the off-season.

Balance: Although these sessions are competition based, there will be agreat balance of technique sessions from outstanding clinicians and underthe supervision of JMU or UVA wrestlers. Because we cap the numbers @ 160campers, we remain a camp that is focused on competition and technicaldevelopment.
