In-Season Session
Nov 5 - Feb 25, 2026
Our in-season program is built to keep wrestlers progressing throughout the season while complementing their school or club training. Designed for club, middle school, and high school athletes, each session blends high-level skill work with athletic development to build complete, confident competitors. Practices combine technique introduction and reinforcement, controlled sparring, hard drilling, and live wrestling — giving athletes the right mix of technical instruction, intensity, and match simulation to translate training into results. This balanced approach keeps the athletes strong, sharp, and competition-ready all season long.
Hybrid Hour Program
- 30 minutes of strength, conditioning and athletic performance training to develop power, endurance, and explosiveness. Additional recovery promoting methods will be included.
- 30 minutes of focused wrestling skill development and drilling to refine technique, positioning, and movement.
- All Hybrid Hour classes will be capped at 20 athletes. YGN full-time members will get exclusive early sign up access to these classes.
