Welcome to Apex Wrestling Academy – Youth Advanced Fall Session
Thank you for registering for the Fall 2025 Youth Advanced Wrestling Session at Apex Wrestling Academy! We’re thrilled to work with committed young athletes and look forward to helping your wrestler reach the Apex of their athletic potential. With Sundays only, this allows your wrestler to still play football or other sports while still working at their winter wrestling goals.
Program Overview
Our focus is on high-level technique development and competitive readiness for the upcoming season for 1st- 6th Grade. This session is for wrestlers who want to jump levels and will need to have focus and discipline. This session is ideal for wrestlers preparing for:
-
MYWAY / WarZone Upcoming Season
-
Fall tournaments
We’ve identified a few key competitions this fall that the Youth Division will target:
- 🟢 Grappler Fall Classic Sandusky Ohio
- 🟣 Freak Show – Las Vegas, NV
These events are designed to challenge athletes and elevate their skills ahead of the main season.
