• Technique: This camp will be an opportunity to learn about the basics of beach wrestling. We will cover beginner level to advanced level technique of beach wrestling. 

• Beach wrestling is paramount in make better mat wrestlers. Folkstyle, freestyle, and Greco all benefit from beach wrestling. Since beach is wrestled from your feet, it really helps with balance, movement, and throws. The beach is a great place to practice moves safely in the sand that can translate to the mat in the winter. Even if you have no wrestling experience, beach or otherwise, it is a lot of fun!
