3-Style Wreslting Club Goes On-Line

The web-site for the 3-Style Wrestling Club is up and running. It is a bit basic at the moment but it does provide the vitals on the club and registering. And are you ready for this...there is no membership fee!

Coach Keifer has been able to secure a couple of financial grants to defray the cost of running the club. As such, 3-Style Club members will pay no fees whatsoever. They do have to have a USA wrestling card. The club will train at St. Christopher's in Richmond and The first session is planned for 4/16.

I understand that the coaches are going to be selective in who they accept as members. The application forms ask wrestlers to talk about their accomplishments and goals. The website, http://www.3stylewrestling.org/ has links to the application forms that can be submitted by 4/2 on-line or by snail-mail.

The club will work-out on Wednesday & Thursday evenings (6pm-8pm), and on Sundays at 3pm. The Wednesday session is for the senior side (consisting of high schoolers and exceptional middle schoolers) and Thursday is for the junior side (middle schoolers and exceptional younger kids). The Sunday session is for the entire club.

One of the great features of this club will be the special clinics that they are setting up (The first one will be held on 4/20.). The special guest coaches include Buxton from Blair Academy, Gordon of Wyoming Seminary, Holmes from Atlanta Wrestling Academy, and Kitaev from Suplex City in Ohio (He is also a Greco champion from the Soviet era).
