What is your refund policy?

You must request a refund in writing 14 days prior to opening day of camp. PLEASE NO EXCEPTIONS

What if my child is an average athlete or is just beginning wrestling?

The camp is not designed for kids to get down on themselves if he or she is not keeping up with the other kids. It is based on positive reinforcement for each participant's individual effort. The coaches pay close attention to them and make sure that they improve at their own level of ability. If your child is just beginning, the camp is ideal for them. They will learn exactly what the sport of wrestling is all about and what it takes to excel on the wrestling mat.

Is the camp advanced enough for my child?

We feel that it is very important to challenge each child with raising their skill level and focus to a higher level. We make a special effort to ensure every participant gains some valuable experience and knowledge from the coaching staff. We make sure the kids are matched up with others of the same talent level

What if my child cannot attend all days?

We will charge you on a pro-rated basis for the number of day(s) attended. Just give us a call to make arrangements. Call 301-261-6159

What is the coach to participant ratio?

The optimum teaching takes place when you have one coach for every 12-15 campers. We always try to maintain those standards at the camp. It really helps us with organization if the parent's have their registration forms in early so we can keep these optimal camp ratios.

What is the maximum number of kids that you let in the camp?

Each camp that we run is different. Depending on the location and availability of coaches, we limit the amount of participants to as low as 50 and as high as 100. EARLY Registration is encouraged to not be left out of the camp!

Can the parent's stay and watch?

You are more than welcome to stay and watch every session throughout the camp.

Is there someone available if my child is injured?

A training staff will be on hand for all minor injuries and preventative care. Medical clinics and a hospital are near the camp facilities and a mobile phone is on-site for emergency situations.

Who actually runs the camp?

The camp coordinator is Todd Beckerman 301-261-6159

Who are the coaches?

We have assembled a coaching staff that has a wide range of college and international wrestling experience. This allows a child to relate to different levels of success throughout the camp. As you will see under BIOS, the AAWCS clinicians have been very successful in the sport of wrestling throughout the years of training and learning to beat the Best. Our staff also features top local high school coaches who have a proven track record of wonderful teaching skills and top college wrestlers involved in addition to local high school athletes who really relate to the kids.

Can you explain what you do during the camp?

Our camps are focused on learning new techniques and drills in the sport of wrestling. We stress fundamentals, form and technique with our focus on quality instruction for each and every kid in a fun atmosphere. We not only hope to teach them skills to make them better athletes, we hope to stimulate their general interest in sports. This will include an emphasis on good work habits, self-discipline, motivation and self-confidence. Our camp sessions are fun, upbeat, and crisp in tempo. We want the campers to be aware that this is not playtime, but a place to further develop their athletic skills. It is our sincere hope that what we present to the kids is taken to heart and applied to wrestling and their everyday life.
