Women’s Future Champion Freestyle Camp set for Marquette, Mich., July 16-23
5/4/2005
Josi Carlson/USA Wrestling
With its inaugural appearance in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece and an ever-increasing number of competitors, women’s freestyle wrestling is a sport on the rise.
Women of all ages who are interested in the skills and techniques it takes to excel in freestyle are invited to spend a week learning from some of the best the sport has to offer.
A Women’s Future Champion Freestyle Camp will be held July 16-23 at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Mich.
Featured coaches at the camp will include:
* Shannyn Gillespie – U.S. Olympic Education Center head coach
* Mary Kelly – 1999 Cadet World Champ, two-time Junior World medalist
* Tina George - two-time World silver medalist, 2003 Pan American Games champion
* Brandy Rosenbrock - two-time Junior World Team member, World Team Trials runner-up
Coaches will be covering basic positioning, techniques and mat wrestling. The camp’s focus will be on technique, with very little live wrestling.
The camp will help girls who are interested in freestyle wrestling, the style used in international competition.
Various evening sessions covering topics such as weight lifting, diet and sports psychology will also be provided.
The athlete coaches will be staying in the dorm with campers, giving them an opportunity to ask any questions they have for some of the world’s most accomplished athletes.
Campers will not only learn from the elite-level coaches, but can spend time with other female wrestlers.
Wrestlers from all over the nation will be able to come together and share their experiences.
Contact Ku’u Johnson (906) 227- 4507 with questions.
