WINNEMUCCA - The Grant Brothers/CSU-Pueblo Christian Wrestling Camp will take place July 13 - 15 at the new gym at Lowry High School for middle school and older students.
The camp is $50 per wrestler for pre-registration and $60 at the start of the camp, which includes a T-shirt. Cash or check only for registration and make checks payable to either Justin or Trevor Grant. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the Lowry High School wrestling program through a private contribution.
Over the three days, wrestlers will be exposed to a variety of techniques and new ideas to enhance their wrestling careers. This is not an intensive camp, but is designed more for technique, learning various ways to condition, maintain health suitable for elite athletes and to provide local wrestlers with an opportunity to mix it up on the mat.
The morning conditioning will be examples of college conditioning practices followed by 1 hour and 45 minutes of technique. The main theme centralizing all covered techniques will be position. There will be lectures over the topics of year-round training, healthy (athlete-appropriate) lifestyles, weight management, motivation and taking wrestling life-lessons off the mat.
This is a Christian wrestling camp, and they will end each day with an optional Bible study. God has blessed them tremendously through the sport of wrestling, and now they want to give back to Him by passing on their blessings and acquired knowledge of the sport to their home community.
