Intermediate

Grades 2-6

Our Intermediate room is for wrestlers who are past novice and ready to learn more advanced technique at a higher pace. This group is for 8u Open wrestlers and up. 8u wrestlers who are in their first and second year should be in our foundation room. We have a set curriculum and are focused on giving wrestlers a clear understanding of the techniques so that they may progress to our Advanced room quickly. There is a proficiency test for Advanced program comprised of skills and abilities including running a mile for time and being able to drill intermediate skills for 5 minutes intensely without guidance. We will have a checklist displayed on the wall and will test in the last week of September and again in the 3rd week of October.

At registration, you will sign-up for Intermediate/Advanced and coaches will determine the groups. If you are new to SHWA you will automatically start in our Intermediate program. Our Intermediate and Advanced practices will be run at the same time using our upstairs and downstairs spaces. These groups will come together for live depending on size and also for some technique sessions. We have to ability to shift wrestlers between Intermediate and Advanced at any time.

There will not be an Intermediate practice in the Winter as those not in Advanced should go to their school programs. If you register for ALL IN, you will be guaranteed a spot in our Winter Advanced.

Newer wrestlers 3rd grade and up with average athleticism and focus will be able to pick up on the technique.
