SUPER GOLD MEDAL TRAINING CAMPS 2, 3, or 4+ Week Options
This intensive learning and training camp entails a unique blend of comprehensive technical instruction and structured drill sessions with lots of live wrestling. You will learn how to develop the mental toughness and confidence that you need to excel at the highest levels of competition. You will come to understand the technique, concentration, intensity, and commitment required to become a Champion.
Super Gold Medal Training Camp is a unique opportunity for the experienced teenage wrestler who is determined to excel at the highest levels of competition. To reach your fullest potential, more than just physical training is required. Our Sports Science Staff and I will conduct seminars on important areas including strength training, nutrition, goal setting and mental preparation.
You will receive personalized coaching and feedback from our staff of superstar clinicians in small, instructional groups, and have the opportunity to participate in an intense, supervised strength training program with expert strength training coaches. Super Gold Medal Training Camp is not like traditional intensive camps where you rise every morning at dawn to run and/or lift and become too exhausted to retain technique and wrestle intensely. The emphasis is on learning and wrestling and you will do plenty of both. There will be some mandatory running and lifting sessions but most will be optional.
Super Gold Medal Training Camp will be a valuable investment in your future. It is a special opportunity for the experienced wrestler who has college scholarship aspirations and wants to make a big commitment this summer.

GOLD MEDAL TRAINING CAMP 5 or 6 Day Options
This incredible camp involves a unique blend of technical instruction, intense drilling, live wrestling, and review sessions. Technique is emphasized and reinforced, not neglected as it is at many other intensive camps. You will be taught by many of our superstar clinicians and will learn far more than you would at a shorter camp.
The live wrestling sessions are very intense and competitive. During the past six seasons, Gold Medal Campers have won an impressive 350 State Championships, while over 600 campers have placed in the 1998-2004 State Tournaments. This does not include all the future stars still in junior high school. Many of our campers use Gold Medal Camp to train for USA Wrestling, NHSCA and AAU Nationals, so we have special instructional and training groups for those interested in freestyle and Greco-Roman training. If you want to test yourself against the best in the nation, Gold Medal Training Camp is the place to do it.

PERSONALIZED TECHNIQUE CAMP 4 or 5 Day Options
The Personalized Technique Camp is specifically designed for junior high and senior high wrestlers with little to moderate experience, as well as for experienced wrestlers who want to refine and expand their current repertoire. Our technique curriculum is carefully structured to present the most effective scoring techniques from all three positions in a systematic fashion to maximize retention. Techniques will be shown in a progressive sequence to promote learning and understanding of what works at all levels of competition. The wrestlers will have a designated coordinator from our Gold Medal Staff who will monitor each instructional session to review and expand upon the curriculum with each student. The wrestlers will be divided by age and experience as needed so that each wrestler is able to focus on the technical skills and tactics that they most need to improve upon. The base curriculum as designed by Coach Chertow will be comprised of the highest percentage techniques in wrestling, and they will be presented in a systematic fashion with emphasis on the finer teaching points. In addition to not only learning, but retaining a highly effective system of wrestling, Personalized Technique Camp Students will get to choose specific areas in which to receive advanced instruction. Although live wrestling is not a core component of the technique camp as it is with the Gold Medal Training Camp, participants will have the opportunity to participate in live wrestling during select sessions.
WOMEN'S TECHNIQUE CAMP

YOUTH DEVELOPMENTAL TRAINING CAMPS
Our Kids Training and Future Champions Camps have been carefully designed so that the wrestlers have a positive experience in a closely supervised environment. Parents, we take our responsibility to teach, motivate and supervise your child very seriously. Wrestlers are not allowed to leave the hotel or campus premises, and our coaching staff and I are available to help the kids throughout the day both on and off the mats. Youth Developmental Camps are specifically designed for wrestlers ages 6-12.
Undoubtedly, the Best Youth Camps in the Nation!!
KIDS TRAINING CAMP 5 or 6 Day Options
A variation of the Gold Medal Training Camp that is designed for serious students entering grades 3-7. This is a step up from the Future Champions Camp for the hard core young wrestler. While many other camps conduct youth camps as an afterthought, We take great pride in our Kids Training Camps and the success of our students. We specialize in training youth wrestlers far better than any other camp in the nation, and elementary school wrestlers from across the country come to train at Kids Training Camp.
FUTURE CHAMPIONS CAMP
4 Days Designed for wrestlers grades 1–3 who have varying degrees of skill, experience, and attention span. We cater to the needs of both novice and advanced wrestlers, providing small group, personalized instruction. The Future Champions Camp motto is “Work Hard and Have Fun on Your Way to #1,” and the kids do just that. They learn the importance of hard work and aggressiveness while having fun and striving to be winners in all aspects of their lives.
Father/Son Camp Options
Parents, you are welcome to attend either the Kids Training Camp or the Future Champions Camp with your son. This is a unique opportunity to learn and bond together in a world class wrestling environment that also stresses fun, fitness, and fundamentals. We encourage you to attend sessions, take notes, video tape the instructional presentations, and/or assist your son. We offer a variety of housing and meal options to meet the needs and budget of your family. Please refer to the application page at the back of this brochure and/or contact us today to learn more.
