No-Experience Wrestlers

Want to join but have no prior experience?

We have an onboarding process...

Feel free to contact us and schedule to come in and watch a practice prior to enrolling.

• No Experience Wrestlers must commit & enroll with a monthly membership. Memberships are month to month and can be canceled anytime.
• You must book 2 private lessons with coach SAM SHALVEY to learn the basics prior to attending practices:
• When enrolling with a club membership, you can choose your start date. We suggest selecting your enrollment date to be after the date you will have completed the 2 required onboarding private lessons.  Remember, you cannot attend wrestling club practices until you complete the required 2 onboarding private lessons.After you have enrolled online with a membership, you may book lessons through our website (“private lesson” tab).
• In your first private lesson you will learn the match rules and the neutral (standing) position.
• Your second private lesson you will learn our calisthenic warm-up and the top and bottom positions.
• After completing these lessons, you may also participate in the practices.
• This onboarding process is for the benefit of your wrestler and the others already in our program.  You will be doing a great disservice to your wrestler and the other wrestlers in our club if you try to skip our onboarding process.  

• There is a right-of-passage period when beginning in the wrestling.  Your focus should be on improving each day and giving consistent and high efforts.  It will be difficult, but it will be worth it!   It takes time to start having success in this sport and frankly, there will be days you get your butt whooped.  However, the lessons learned about hard-work, commitment, and self-assessment during this process will be invaluable to you in life.
