After a successful first 24 months of nothing but Freestyle and Greco training in 2021 and 2022, a US World Team member Rich Fedalen, 2 US National Team Members (top 3 placement at World Team Trials) Joe Couch & King Sandoval, female and male Pan Am US National Team Members Taina Fernandez and Rich Fedalen, and multiple Fargo All Americans were produced.
The 2023 summer training session (12 sessions) runs from June 4 thru August 20. The cost is $200 for all training (or pay as you go, $30 per Sunday). Each Sunday camp begins at 1:30pm, ends at 3pm and is a mix of Freestyle and Greco Technique, tactics, and strategy, all to prepare athletes for the rigid competition schedule of summer duals and Fargo Nationals and Worlds!

DESCRIPTION
Freestyle/Greco ("FRECO") preparation for making age group World Teams with JO Wrestling Founder Jay LaValley, who is also Korean National Team liaison.
Jay has worked with Senior Level/Olympic athletes from the United States, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Mongolia, trained athletes virtually from 6 continents and over 30 countries. Locally Jay has trained over 100 Fargo All Americans since 2008, as well as age group World Team Members; most whom went on to Division 1 college to wrestle...full list HERE
Sessions begin at 1:30pm will include instruction, drilling, live/situational wrestling. This is specific preparation to learn to wrestle, attack and score in the most common positions in Olympic Style Wrestling.
Great way to supplement Folkstyle Wrestling as the Olympic skills, technique, tactics, and mental approach Jay is teaching is transferrable to scholastic and collegiate wrestling!
