Attend Wrestling Clinic - See Wrestling Championships

For several weeks now, you've seen posts about the Wrestling Youth Clinic that will be held in conjunction with the 2012 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships here in St. Louis. You also know that the youth clinic will feature rising Strikeforce MMA contender and former Mizzou wrestling All-American Tyron Woodley. Oh, you forgot who Tyron Woodley is? Well, take a look at the video below. This is from a bout he had in 2009 with Sal Woods (email subscribers click here).




As you can see, Woodley is an excellent fighter and has a bright future ahead of him.  However, please understand my next point. Tyron Woodley is a professional fighter and the techniques he uses in the ring are not suitable for young athletes. Woodley is a clinician at the Wrestling Youth Clinic to teach wrestling skills only. There will be no striking or submission maneuvers taught whatsoever. Woodley is one of the greatest wrestlers the St. Louis region has ever produced and your child has a unique opportunity to learn from the very best.

The Wrestling Youth Clinic will be held this Tuesday, March 13 from 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. at Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis. Participation is FREE for boys and girls ages 10-16. No previous wrestling experience is required. Along with Woodley, our other coaches will teach according to your child's experience level. I promise they will have fun and learn a lot at the same time. As an added bonus, every child who registers for and attends the clinic is eligible to receive a free ticket to the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships March 15-17 also at Scottrade Center.

Local youth wrestling teams are strongly encouraged to participate. For every 20 kids who attend the clinic from your club, you will receive 25 tickets as these should more than account for chaperones. Teams who have already signed up for the clinic will get first right of refusal for seating. So, don't waste any more time. Click on the following link for the Wrestling Youth Clinic and sign up today! Please complete a separate form for each child. For example, siblings who are put on the same form will not be allowed to participate. If you have any questions or concerns please call 314-345-5130 or email salexander@stlsports.org. This is going to be a great opportunity for you and your kids. Don't miss it! Until next time...

Be a Good Sport!
