You Want To Be A Champion Wrestler?

**This is updated for the spring/summer 2010**

**Read all of this, there's important stuff at the bottom of this page as well**

Off Season Championship Program

Starting Now! (Spring)

1) Go to the Extreme Team practice Monday & Thursdays 6:00-8:00pm at Carnegie. 

2) Wrestle the Freestyle Tournaments on the weekends. The schedule is on this site under "Events".

Summer Wrestling Practice Options:

1) Starting July 5th and running through the rest of the summer, the BV Wrestling Team will practice at Bella Vista on Mondays and Thursdays. JV wrestlers will practice from 4:30 - 6:00pm, with the varsity wrestlers to go from 6:00 - 8:00pm. The designation of jv and varsity does not mean you will be jv or varsity for the upcoming season. The difference in practices are that you must learn some basic "Bella Vista" techniques, before you can learn the more advanced techniques. You will be moved up or down in practice times depending on your level of skills - the faster you pick-up the technique, the sooner you move up and onto advanced technique. Coach Mark Tucker will be running these workouts. If you have any questions about this, please call him at 208-3186.

2) Folsom HS has an open room where many schools go to practice and wrestle against competition from all over Sacramento. It is a practice, not a competition, but a great chance to go "live" against new people - which helps you get better faster! Folsom practice Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00pm - 7:30pm starting March 8th and running through the whole summer.

**I would suggest that you go to the BV workouts Mondays and Thursdays, then try out your technique on wrestlers from around the area at Folsom on Tuesdays. Do this all spring and summer and you'll be very tough to beat next season. This is simply the only way to WIN tournaments, instead of just wrestling in them.

Summer Camps:

1) Ponderosa Camp. This is a technique and duals summer camp June 28 - 30 at Ponderosa HS. Coach Lee has paid for the team to go, so this camp is free to the first 20 wrestlers who commit to going.

2) Oklahoma State Team Wrestling Camp July 18 - 22 in Reno, Nevada. You can go to "Events", "Summer Wrestling Camps" on this site and find the link to this wrestling camp for information. The camp costs: $345 for residents (food & lodging included), or $250 for commuter (you stay at hotel or relatives and buy own food). Coach Lee will pay for alot of your camp fees if you meet the criteria listed below under "incentives". There are many other camps that you can attend as well. Information on these camps can be found on this site under "Events", "Summer Wrestling Camps". Click here for information on the camp and to register your wrestler: http://osuwrestlingcamps.com

3) Oklahoma State Technique Camp - July 11 - 15th. Any BV wrestler who wants to attend this technique camp the week before our team camp, the Bronco Wrestling Club will pay for $100 of the $365 bill if you'd like to really go for it and make the investment in your wrestling. This $100 donation towards your bill is offered to any BV wrestler, or Carnegie wrestler (if enrolled at BV for the upcoming fall). Once again - you pay up front, we'll reinburse you if you attend.

Fall Wrestling Options

1) Xtreme team practices each Monday and Thursday from 6 - 8:00pm

2) Fall Tournaments: Schedule - TBA
