Camp is over half full.  Looking to hit 40 wrestlers.

This camp will offer an intense atmosphere with drilling and live wrestling components.

 

If anyone has been to Coach Ward's Army WP Ranger Style camp in the summer, you know he runs an outstanding practice room.

 

Whether you are simply looking to supplement your pre-season training regimen or you are preparing for a national tournament, this camp will get you what you need.  It will also be a chance for wrestlers to interact with an NCAA DI head coach and ask collegiate wrestling questions.

 

Email Coach McCormick if interested in attending and we will put you on the camp roster.

We have recently had more IN and OH state placers register for this camp.  We are now at 46 campers.  This is an outstanding group of young men.  It will be a great day of wrestling.  Still a few slots open.  Would like to hit 50 campers. Let me know if you would like to attend.  After I receive an email from a wrestler wanting to register for this camp, I will send you a "camp notes" email with more details.  Thank you -- Coach McCormick

We hit 49 registered campers today.  This is an outstanding opportunity for great drill partners and to practice under the tutelage of an NCAA Div. 1 wrestling coach who also navigates his team through the additional military lifestyle required by a U.S. service academy.  Going to be an awesome day of training and wrestling!

We are at 58 registered campers for this Sunday's camp.  We will wrestle in our main gym.  Certainly have room for more wrestlers.

If interested, send Coach McCormick an email to register.

Have had 4 more state placers register this week.  We have 30+ state placers/qualifiers and 10+ district qualifiers.

Wrestlers from 90 lbs -- 260 lbs.  Plenty of solid drill partners for everyone.  Going to be a great training environment!

What a great camp to attend on a Sunday during the preseason with so many of the top wrestlers in the state participating.  Coach Ward was great guy with solid technique and left a very positive impression on my son.  He's building a program and doing it with several of Indiana's top kids.  Coach McCormick also had some great insight for the wrestlers and parents that hung around.  It's easy to see why Yorktown has had such an impressive run under his tenure.  Thanks to all those coaches who continue to allow our state to get exposure to these D1 programs.

I agree with D. Mills. My son thought is was great. 4 Avon wrestlers attended. Asa Garcia, Nathan Conley, Tyler Conley and Gunnar Larson. All thought it was great. They got to meet and be able to learn from Coach Ward. Counting Ty Mills that makes 5 from Hendricks County that attended. 

.

that is what we call #TheCounty
