Free Wrestling Clinics for Pitt County

We are glad to share and pass along this opportunity to boost wrestling in your community.
December is a good month for me if you’d like me to come out and do an hour or so teaching technique or strategy at a wrestling practice. If you are new to the area, I coached a state championship team and 3 state runner-ups at DHC and established the present non-scholarship team at ECU. I’ve been out to all 6 Pitt high schools and we try to support area wrestling. Reply to this email or give me a call if you’d like to give your kids a bit of a change-of-pace. You can never be quite sure what will stimulate any particular kid to further success. Here are just some areas I commonly hit:
takedown defense
basic leg wrestling
“situation” stand-ups
standing switch
turn-in or hip-heist roll
arm bars
crossface cradle series
arm drags
low single leg
sag headlock
