D1 college coaches recruit the top wrestlers in the country. They base who the best wrestlers are on the following: cadet world medal, cadet world team member, USAW Jr Nationals All American. That is why we have designed the best Elite Freestyle Training Camp in the country. This camp is a combination of technical instruction, drill sessions, and combative wrestling. The Elite Freestyle Training Camp brings together the University of Michigan's camp and coaching staff's proven teaching methods combined with a world class learning and training environment.

Participants will build on an existing knowledge base of wrestling fundamentals by committing themselves to technical development, drilling/position sparring and competitive live wrestling. Each wrestler will achieve a higher level of mastery of the sport through; 1) exposure to techniques and training that are currently used at the elite levels of international wrestling; 2) practices that are focused and challenging; and 3) immersion in an environment that will increase physical capabilities, competitive limitations and mental toughness.

Designed for the more experienced and dedicated wrestler, the camp will teach wrestlers how to prepare themselves physically as well as mentally to win the big matches.

Since starting this camp in 2022, there have been 20 Fargo All-Americans and 6 champs that have attended this training camp.

This camp will challenge your conditioning. Make sure you come to camp in shape!!
