Practices
Mad Cow Wrestling Club offers high school and youth/middle school wrestling practices with premier instruction in wrestling, character development, and leadership skills. These can be booked per practice or month. For families and teams with multiple athletes training at Mad Cow Wrestling Club, our Family Month Pass and Team Month Pass offer a discounted rate for all your athletes to grow and develop as wrestlers and leaders. For private and small group lessons, contact Coach Wenzel about availability and pricing. (swenzel@wcpss.net)
High School
Our high school practices run from 3:30-5:30, Monday through Thursday, and include mental training, technical training, live wrestling, and everything in between for Folkstyle, Freestyle, Greco, and Beach scoring styles.
​
Practices are located in the Athens Drive HS wrestling room. Park near the football stadium and enter the building through the wrestling room doors.​
youth/middle
We currently don't have a separate practice for youth/ms athletes. If there is enough interest and participation, we'll open a youth/ms practice time. Until then, they are welcome to attend the practices with the high schoolers!
​
(If we open a separate youth/middle school practice, we'll run our "FUNdamentals of Wrestling" program, emphasizing the FUN in FUNdamentals! These are designed to develop a love for the sport, foster friendships, and build the foundation needed to master championship-level skills.)​
