Open Mat sessions give wrestlers the freedom to wrestle with their partners based on what they need most. One mat will be dedicated to a guided practice, with another mat open for free drilling and wrestling. A coach will be available throughout the session for feedback and instruction. Guided practice will vary depending on the needs of the group.
There is no advance registration required. Simply complete the required waiver before your first session.
*These sessions are not designed to replace weekly training with a wrestler's team, but rather to provide an opportunity for wrestlers to get extra work in, or for anyone interested in learning more about the sport.
*Under CIAC guidelines, wrestlers ARE permitted to receive supplemental instruction at private clubs during their high school season, provided the instruction is in addition to their high school team practices and is not provided by a member of their high school coaching staff.
