Training Schedule for School Holidays

To all Fremantle Wrestlers:

Wednesday 8-Jul-09: Chris Butler is away and there is no junior class. The senior class will be run by by Jonathan at 6.30pm-8.00pm.

Training will resume as normal the following week.

Conditioning Workouts

We've kicked off another phase of hard training and conditioning. This will take about 4 weeks, then we'll go into a peaking phase as a practice for competition.

I was happy with the general enthusiasm of the class, and congratulate everyone who participated today. It was tough. Sprints, squats and wrestling drills combined with a couple of live sparring matches really sapped us physically. But everyone kept their spirits together and managed to complete the tough day.

It will get tougher....but it will FEEL easier.

High Performance Workshop - 21 Jun 09 - Fremantle PCYC

I will be holding a "High Performance Introduction" workshop for interested wrestlers. I can confirm that the date will be Sunday 21-Jun-09 at Fremantle PCYC from 10.30am to 2.00pm. An official flyer will be emailed sometime in the next week.

The workshop is aimed at athletes who:
- Have had some competitive experience.
- Train regularly at class, but have not done much conditioning/training outside of class.
- Would like to commence serious training (for competition) within the next year.

All WWA members are welcome, but if you do not fit into the above categories, you may not find the workshop as useful. Coaches and parents are also welcome to attend or observe.

The workshop will consist of classroom style discussions and actual wrestling practice. Please come prepared with training attire and a change of clothes. Also, you might like to bring water and a snack. Sorry, I won't be providing lunch!

The official flyer will provide a bit more information. In the meantime, I would appreciate if you could confirm whether you wish to attend before 14-Jun. I need to know final numbers so I can print enough workshop notes and plan the wrestling clinic.

Jonathan Tan
