This was a final tune-up for those going to the nationals. The main thing we drilled today was the setup and follow through to the shot. For example,

Snap Down -> Spin Behind
Head Pull -> Outside Single Leg
Duck Under -> High Crotch or Inside Single Leg
Front Headlock -> Outside Single Leg
Wrist Grab -> Sweep Single
Russian Arm Drag -> Double Leg
Overhook -> Spinning Arm Throw

We will be continuing to drill this more in future. These combinations form a strong basis for learning leg attacks in freestyle wrestling.

We also emphasized the importance of partner-work. Drilling with a partner is the best way to become fluent with moves. Instead of just practising moves together, we focussed on how to be a good training partner by being active and providing the correct amount of resistance to allow them to train effectively.
