This camp, like our Scoring Machine Wrestling Camp, will be capped at 36 wrestlers. That worked out great for getting personal attention from the counselor/clinician. At the moment this camp is about halfway full. This camp will focus on several areas of offense. Drew Hughes will spend two sessions on how to dominate with riding the legs. Angel Escobedo will spend a two hour session breaking down the front headlock position. Brandon Wright will spend one session on moving your opponent to create opportunities for shooting from space. He will use another session to show his breakdown, tilting, and pinning strategies. Mason Parris will cap the camp off by showing shots and takedowns from different ties.

Columbus North is offering a second wrestling camp on July 9th and 10th in Columbus, IN. This camp will feature Angel Escobedo, Brandon Wright, Drew Hughes, and Mason Parris.

Registration will be closing this evening for this event. There are a few spots left open. Also, camp shirt sizes will need to be turned in. You can take care of this at www.cnwrestle.com. Make sure you select Scoring Machine Wrestling Camp.

The Scoring Machine Wrestling Camp will feature camp counselor, Nick Lee; true freshman All-American from Penn State. Campers will learn the technique and mindset that has helped him become a relentless scoring machine. We are going to keep this camp smaller to allow more personal attention from Nick. Currently (4/24/18) we only have 22 spots available. For more information call 812-525-7304 Online Registration Link: http://cnwrestle.com/teams/default.asp?u=COLUMBUSNORTHWRESTLI&s=htosports&p=registration

There are only 10 more spots available. We are only going to allow 36 wrestlers at this camp to ensure that everyone gets some time with Nick. Don't miss out. Registration will close on Wednesday, May 30th. Don't miss out!

Did you know that there are 11 state championships, 5 college All-American, 3 college national championships, and a top 5 world finish with these 4 individuals? 3 out of the 4 wrestlers at this camp are still competing. 1 of the 4 is a Division 1 Big10 head coach. This camp is going to break down some of the finer points of offense that have gotten each of these wrestlers to where they are today. This camp is going to give much personal attention to the 36 wrestlers that attend. Registration will close when it reaches 36. Coach Escobedo and Coach Wright are looking forward to building relationships with wrestlers in the area to build the IU program. This is a great opportunity to meet them at the ground level of the rebuilding of this Big10 program!
