All American Wrestling Camp System

About Us:
The All American Wrestling Camp System (AAWCS) serves wrestling at all levels-elementary, junior high, high school, college, and international. The AAWCS is designed to bring instruction and drilling from the best clinicians around to your area for beginning to advanced wrestlers. The camps will cover techniques and drills that have helped the AAWCS clinicians succeed throughout their wrestling careers. The techniques and drills will cover from the feet, top, and bottom positions. The system will also incorporate some live wrestling to allow the campers to use some of the technique that each camper has learned in a competition situation. Camp participants will learn in a fun atmosphere under the direction of our experienced staff. The clinic is intended for boys and girls ranging from 1st graders to seniors in high school.

The system and website www.summerwrestlingcamps.com is based on the section of the website called “Design A Camp.” “Design A Camp” is devoted to the coach or wrestler that wants to get better but does not have the resources to travel to far off destinations for wrestling camp. “Design A Camp” is set up so you can bring the “Best Camp” to your town or area. In this section you have the opportunity to choose the AAWCS clinicians that you want to have at the camp, the camp date, number of camp days, and the location of the camp. “Design A Camp” presents you with a variety of available choices for clinicians to suit your individual camp needs. With over 75 different combinations of clinicians, you are sure to match your wrestling needs with various instructors. As you take your time to search the website, click on the AAWCS biographies of each clinician to see the complete information on these highly qualified instructors. All instructors have years of camp experience and are very qualified at the college and/or international levels. Designing your camp offers a chance to design your next individual and team champions.

Description of the Summer Camp System & Training Program:
For the first time, the All American Wrestling Camp System (AAWCS) is going to offer winter and summer wrestling camps around the United States. Although special requests or circumstances can be worked out through the contact person, Coach Todd Beckerman, the basic format of the camps will be as follows:

Who the camps are designed for:
High school programs (including elementary and/or junior high), club programs, or a combination of several schools or clubs in one particular region.

You can find the complete information of all AAWCS clinicians in the BIOS section.

Not all coaches and wrestlers will be available for every camp, subject to their summer training camps and international competitions. Other college wrestlers and elite high school coaches will be at every camp.

Duration and session times:
These camps will be commuter camps and will be available to high schools, junior high, elementary, club programs, and any combinations of the above. We have found through years of camp research these time to work for our system. An average day would be a session from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., lunch from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. (lunch not provided unless specified otherwise), and a session from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. If necessary, different times can be arranged.

Promotion and setup:
The All American Wrestling Camp System clinicians, coaches, and wrestlers who conduct the camp will be responsible for teaching, conducting sessions, promotion of the camp on the website, and camp insurance for AAWCS clinicians only. Promotion of the camp, setup of the mats, obtaining of camp liability insurance, registration, taking of daily attendance, housing for Coaches and Wrestlers (camp staff), and lunch for the campers (or have campers bring own lunch) will be the responsibility of the club or group that hires the AAWCS to conduct the camp.

Cost:
In addition to providing a quality commuter camp with teaching from some of the finest coaches and wrestlers in the world, these camps can also be used as a fundraiser for your program. The cost of the camp depends on the number of AAWCS clinicians you would like to hire for the camp, location, and total number of camp days. This will be worked out once the “Design A Camp” form is all completed. The final costs and splits will be worked out with the camp coordinator.
