    4.  Attention: With a superb wrestler-to-coach ratio, each participant can work directly with the instructors for maximum gains and benefits

    5.  Improvement:  As each wrestler attends camp to get better, SCWC works hard to get better too.  Listening to coaches’ and wrestlers’ suggestions, we are constantly improving our camps.

    6.  Dedication:  We go beyond summer camp dates.  The coaches want every wrestler to succeed and may continue to be a resource for any camper after the camp is over.

    7.  Competition:  World Cup Dual Meets.  Honor for the Motherland.  You’ve got to experience it to understand it.

    8.  Value:  No camp can compare in price for the best instruction, spirited dual meets, included lunches, and a camp T-shirt.

    9.  A Free Wrestling Mat:  One wrestler at each camp will receive a free home-size wrestling mat complements of Dollamur Sports Surfaces.
