We have 4 Division-I coaches that will be part of our staff as well as numerous college mentors that are currently wrestling at the Division-I level.

Progressive Learning System Our staff has all been trained in the Progressive Learning System and is focused on teaching kids the right way. We believe that how you teach is as important as what you teach and we spend considerable time making sure that each instructor is trained in our system. Our staff of wrestling experts has taken every aspect of wrestling and broken it down into different phases of learning. This system, developed by Carl Adams, is currently used by wrestling programs nationwide. Techniques from all three wrestling positions have been categorized and put into an effective instructional learning system that builds on itself. There is continuity and purpose throughout the entire system so wrestlers have a solid wrestling foundation for each one of the three wrestling positions. Through our system, young wrestlers shall understand powerful concepts that apply to many different situations. This system approach has been claimed our greatest differentiating factor. 3.
