Let’s keep the women’s freestyle momentum going in Wisconsin! The Wisconsin Wrestling Federation will host a women’s freestyle camp series from September to April at various locations across the state.

Right now—fresh off an outstanding summer for our National Teams, and an incredible awe-inspiring Olympic Games for the women of Team USA—is a perfect time to integrate our freestyle training camps into your plan for the season ahead. Our coaches worked together to build a curriculum for development that will be led at these camps by various national team coaches.

Returning in 2024-25! Each camp will have a focused discussion topic to help you level up in all areas of your wrestling career—including guidance for planning your season and journaling tips, picking your best competition weight, highlights from life after wrestling (career, etc.), proper nutrition practices, and creating a college recruiting profile. This season, topics and camp techniques will be posted online so you can review or catch up if you miss a session!

The series is open to all Wisconsin 14U, 16U, and Junior women with a USA Wrestling athlete membership. The cost to attend is $25 per athlete, per camp, and will be collected onsite.
