Personalized Wrestling Camps coming to Shell Lake Wisconsin HS, August 3rd and 4th
Knowledge
Work Ethic
Attitude
Mission The Knight Wrestling Academy will be presenting customized team camps for interested schools and wrestling clubs. My primary goal in establishing the Knight Wrestling Academy Camps is to provide a positive environment where young wrestlers can learn what it takes to be a champion, both on and off the mat. I want to increase wrestling knowledge, continue the growth of wrestling, and give something back to the sport
that has given me so much.
Through my successful experiences, both as a wrestler and a coach, I feel I have valuable knowledge in which to share. I truly enjoy working with those
wrestlers who have made a commitment to our sport, and are willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their goals. This is the type of wrestler
that I want to work with through the Knight Wrestling Academy Camps. I want young wrestlers that are committed to becoming champions, regardless of their experience. I want wrestlers who are looking to get that edge on the competition. The idea of the camp is to teach a specific style
of wrestling and to improve the wrestlers, coaches, and teams who attend. KWA Camps will provide the environment to take you to the next level. All
the different skills and techniques taught will be drilled repetitively, so you can learn them, remember them, and be able to perform them in live
matches. Through gaining the KNOWLEDGE of the proper technique that has proven successful at the highest levels of competition, acquiring the
proper WORK ETHIC of a champion, and maintaining a positive ATTITUDE, with KWA Camps, success will be inevitable. Schedule
On both Monday and Tuesday we will run 2, 2 hours sessions from 9-11am and 12-2pm. An optional third session will be added each day from 2:30 - 4pm. This optional third session is for the more serious wrestlers that has some specific problem areas that they want fixed. Unlike the typical wrestling
camp where coaches and wrestlers don’t have any input as to what technique will be shown. At the KWA Camps I want your wrestler to have an opportunity to address their problem areas. I want them to get their questions answered by giving them a little more one on one attention during
this session.
Cost
The cost will be $75 per wrestler. This becomes one of the most affordable camps around when you break down the cost of instruction per hour ($6.81 per hour of instruction). Registration can be mailed to Dan Knight, 4720 East 48th Place, Davenport, IA 52807. Registrations will also
be accepted at the door. Makes checks payable to: Knight Wrestling Academy. Any questions, don’t hesitate to call me at 563.209.6805.
