EAST 46 Report post Posted March 2, 2018 This past summer I took my son to a college combine in NJ. We met with several coaches that shared that they struggle to get front of large groups of good kids to recruit from. So Next Level Wrestling club and Invicta wrestling academy will be hosting a Wrestling College Combine April 14-15. "there is a misconception by by many kids that they need to be a state champion or a national placer to wrestle in college. We want kids that want to compete in college that we can develop. Good grades help we just coach-able kids that are willing to do the work". Once we confirm all of the colleges I will post a list. That should be available after the College Nationals Wrestling Combine Next Level Wrestling and INVICTA Wrestling clubs will be hosting a Wrestling combine April 14-15. Our goal is to have 20-25 different colleges D1 through NAIA and 40 wrestlers attend this event. This event is open to Incoming Freshman through Seniors. This will be an opportunity to meet with coaches from different colleges and for them to see you perform. The format will be two days with half the coaches each day. The sessions will consist of skill test, drilling and lots of live wrestling. Each wrestler will receive two t-shirts one for each day their name and weight will be on the back so coaches can identify them. The shirts will be color coordinated for their grade. There will be a bio sheet on each wrestler each coach will receive a folder with a copy of all the wrestler’s bio’s. In between each session coaches will have a chance to speak about their program and what their college has to offer. Location: 50 Vincennes St: New Albany, IN 47150 Time: Both days 9-3 Registration Sat 8:30 Cost: $120.00 Lunch and drinks will be provided each day. Each wrestler is required to have a USA card. The waiver, payment and the Bio sheet must be received two weeks prior to the event. Please send a (photo) head shot. There are 40 spots available See the attached for the required forms Wrestling Combine 2018.docx 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoachC 115 Report post Posted March 27, 2018 If this weren't the same weekend as our dual team qualifier, I would probably bring a few kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nike Man 292 Report post Posted March 30, 2018 Combine is almost full. If your considering going, you need to act fast and sign up immediately. I can’t believe that this thread hasn’t blown up! This is an awesome opportunity to get in front a lot of college coaches at the same time in a small setting. You don’t have to be a State Champ to be a college wrestler. You have to be a hard worker who loves wrestling. That’s it. Thank you to NLW and Invicta for putting this together! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
