wrestlingdad73 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 My son has wrestled for 4 years, 3 in middle school and 1 in high school. He won conference in ms But is finding it takes more to win in hs lol (he can't just out muscle them now). Knows the basics But that's about it. He has stated he wants to go to some camps and clinics. So with that being said does anyone have any suggestions of good ones he should attend or even ones to avoid? We are in the northern Indiana area. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
812Fan Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Purler or Granby are excellent camps! Depends on what he wants to learn. Leg riding, takedowns, a system like Purler or Granby. There are alot of great camps out there, My son is in a similar spot, we're doing Purler this year, small camp size (45 wrestlers) and they drill wrestling, not push-ups, sit-ups and running! What I've found is, go to the best camps you can, but make sure you're on the mat with top notch competition. Wrestling great wrestlers will do wonders for him! Just my 2 cents. Also Chertow camps are really good from what I hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2CJ41 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Camps are over-rated, find a club or "academy" that goes year round. That will be more bang for your buck as you will be doing this for three-five months instead of just one week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingdad73 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 The only problem with club or academies is that wrestling isn't his only sport. He has two others occupying his time as well. These are his words not mine lol, But he says he isn't expecting to go to state But he would like to compete and give the other kid all he can handle every match lol.) I will definately look at the above mentioned camps and thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin106 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 My son will attending the Chertow Camp held at Indiana Tech this summer. He attended this camp a few times in North Dakota. He seemed to really enjoy it and learned a lot. Glad they will be here in Fort Wayne this year. Here is a link http://kenchertow.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatLover Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 One camp that I really like is the Jeff Jordan State Champ Camp. You learn some really good technique, drill, and live wrestle a lot. Also you should think about joining a club over the summer that you can go to every week to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
