WRESTLING CAMPS 
Champions Wrestling School offers a well-structured summer wrestling camps at Queens University of Charlotte ( commuter and resident). In addition to our main summer camp location, we do offer camps in other locations/ or with partner clubs throughout year.
We already proved ourselves as one of the best wrestling program by offering folkstyle, freestyle, greco and folkstyle wrestling throughout year in the Southeast U.S. The camp takes place at Queens University of Charlotte that offers great facility and recreation areas during camp, including meals, tennis court, basketball court, library, swimming pool and a lot more...
Experienced coaching staffs will be conducting the practices and and share their experience with the campers. And we are so proud to be organizing it for wrestlers from local and surrounding areas.
We have created our summer camps that will take the best elements from a Team, Technique and Intensive training camp. And our camp will be great opportunity for teams and individuals to establish camaraderie, leadership and mental strength. Everyone knows that wrestling is an individual sport; however, the team element is an essential ingredient in any wrestler’s success.We recommend that teams come with their full roster in order to get the true meaning of this camp.

The camp clinicians and counselors will teach the same cuttingedge techniques and philosophies that are currently being used in the world wrestling. Be prepared to wrestle duals and situational live wrestling daily! Early morning runs and sessionending conditioning will challenge your mental psyche and your emotional toughness. The camps will be demanding, however, it will provide wrestlers with the mental and physical tools needed to be champions in the upcoming season.
