Summit’s Elite program is designed to provide wrestlers with the experience and technical skills they can’t get within their home-club practices. To participate, individuals should be highly skilled, intense, mature, driven and focussed. Wrestler's should have basic concepts and skills mastered prior to joining these programs.
Mondays- Our well known Match Monday provides your wrestler with that much-needed mat time, against competitive opponents that can be hard to find at your weekly round-robin tournaments. Wrestlers get at least 12 full-length matches each night, with each period lasting 1 minute and 30 seconds.
The wrestlers "officiate" their own matches while competing, providing them with the opportunity to gain further knowledge of the sport and develop problem-solving skills in many wrestling scenarios. Staff members are present to assist with situational training and give advice and direction, or provide encouraging comments, but the focus is on the wrestlers growing into self-sufficient, independent athletes.
Wednesdays, Fridays & Sundays- These practices will focus on a variety of aspects including high level technique, chain and situational wrestling, drilling, strength training and conditioning. They are fast paced and wrestlers are expected to be able to follow along without “hand-over-hand” help from coaching staff. Summit staff will occasionally bring in guest clinicians such as current and past Golden Gopher wrestlers on these nights as well.
