Our Club will be offering four available program choices when Registration Opens in September. For parents that are unsure of what program is right for your wrestler this upcoming season, The Wall Knights Wrestling Club offers these suggestions to help you with determining the right program for your family. All of our programs will heavily focus on wrestling fundamentals, sportsmanship, being a team player, and having fun. ALL WRESTLERS IN OUR PROGRAM WILL HAVE NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO COMPETE THIS SEASON.
THE ADVANCED GROUP CONSISTS ONLY OF THE WALL 1 AND WALL 2 TRAVEL TEAM WRESTLERS THAT COMPETE IN THE JERSEY SHORE JUNIOR WRESTLING LEAGUE A AND B DIVISIONS. WALL 3 WILL COMPETE IN THE JSJWL C DIVISION AND PRACTICE WITH THE INTERMEDIATE GROUP. ONLY WRESTLERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY COMPETED ON THE WALL 1 AND WALL 2 ROSTERS SHOULD REGISTER FOR THE ADVANCED PROGRAM. WRESTLERS WHO REGISTER FOR THE INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM MAY BE PROMOTED DURING THE YEAR TO GO UP TO THE ADVANCED PRACTICE ROOM HOWEVER THIS SHOULD BE UPON THE RECOMMENDATION AND IDSCRETION OF COACHES IN THE PROGRAM.ADVANCED PROGRAM
Our Advanced program is suited for Competitive Wrestlers ready for the A or B Divisions of the Jersey Shore Junior Wrestling League from 2nd through 8th grade. Wrestlers in this practice room are advanced with a minimum of two years of wrestling which equates to several hundred hours of wrestling experience. The advanced program will begin the season with reviewing the fundamentals and basics of wrestling but the training will quickly escalate to more advanced techniques as the season progresses. The advanced program curriculum encompasses more techniques than our beginner/intermediate programs due to the presumption that the wrestlers in this program are experienced with a good understanding of wrestling fundamentals making them ready to learn new skills to enhance their wrestling repertoire and ensure that they continue to develop. The cost of the program is $200.00 and it includes training with our advanced group as well as the option to drill with intermediate group which practices on the same night.
Our Wall 1 and Wall 2 JSJWL Travel Teams consist of wrestlers who practice with our advanced program.
All wrestlers who have previously wrestled on Wall 1 or Wall 2 in JSJWL League matches should register for our advanced program.
FOR WRESTLERS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY COMPETED IN THE JSJWL FOR ANOTHER PROGRAM PLEASE CONTACT FRANK KUHL ([email protected]) FOR ADVICE ON CHOOSING WHAT GROUP TO REGISTER FOR. There is not an additional cost associated with wrestling on the JSJWL Travel Teams when a wrestler registers for our advanced program. It is mandatory that anyone wishing to compete on the Wall 1 or Wall 2 Travel Teams make at least one practice with our club per week. Our wrestlers that wrestle on the Wall 1 or Wall 2 JSJWL roster are the wrestlers who earn a spot on the travel team by being the best wrestler in the weight class.
INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM
Our Intermediate Program is designed for wrestlers in first or second grade that have two or more years of wrestling experience as well as all wrestlers in 3rd-8th Grade that would not be considered advanced.
The Group will consist of wrestlers who will wrestle in our DEVO Program as well as wrestlers that will compete on the Wall 3 JSJWL Travel Team which competes in the C Division of the Jersey Shore Junior Wrestling League. The Intermediate Groups goals are to develop a solid foundation of wrestling basics with heavy repetition, while developing a wrestlers understanding of the sport to compete at a higher level. Intermediate Group wrestlers will develop strength and conditioning while building muscle memory to perform the skills taught by our experienced coaching staff. Both our Beginner and Intermediate group wrestlers will have the opportunity to compete in DEVO matches where there is an emphasis on matching them up with wrestlers from other wrestling programs that will be competitive matches.
IF A WRESTLER HAS PREVIOUSLY NOT COMPETED FOR THE WALL 1 OR WALL 2 TRAVEL TEAMS THEY SHOULD REGISTER FOR THE INTERMEDIATE GROUP-DURING THE SEASON A COACH MAY RECOMMEND THAT A WRESTLER MOVE UP TO THE ADVANCED GROUP IF THE INTERMEDIATE GROUP COACHES FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. The cost of our Intermediate Group Program is $180.00.
BEGINNER PROGRAMOur Beginner Program is designed for wrestlers from kindergarten through 2nd grade with less than two years of wrestling experience. The program will concentrate heavily on teaching and reviewing wrestling basics, teaching wrestling rules, and building muscle memory so that wrestling fundamentals become second nature. Both our Beginner and Intermediate group wrestlers will have the opportunity to compete in DEVO matches where there is an emphasis on matching them up with wrestlers from other wrestling programs that will be competitive matches. The cost of the Beginner/Intermediate program is $140.00.
GIRLS PROGRAM
The Girls Program is a program that is exclusively for Girls and it is designed and intended to garner interest from Girls in Wall Township and surrounding towns to wrestle. Based on feedback from many parents who believe that wrestling would be beneficial for their daughters however their is a hesitancy to allow them to compete or train with boys, the program is set up to have two weekly practices with only girls. The girls will have the opportunity to learn wrestling, make friends, and develop workout partners during the weekly practices and if they choose to, they can also attend practices for the beginner or intermediate groups based on their skill level and age. The girls can coordinate with workout partners from the girls only practices and then attend the boys practices with their workout partners so that they will still continue to only train with fellow girl wrestlers. Due to this being the third season of the Girls program, the price is extremely affordable to try to try to encourage participation. To ensure their is a good amount of girls in the room, we are partnering in the 2022-2023 season with several programs from the Jersey Shore Junior Wrestling League. The Cost of the Girls Program is $95.00. GIRLS WHO WISH TO COMPETE ON WALL 1, WALL 2, OR WALL 3 TRAVEL ROSTERS MUST BE RESIDENTS OF WALL OR A NEIGHBORING TOWN THAT DOES NOT HAVE A JSJWL TRAVEL TEAM (WALL TRAVEL TEAMS CONSIST OF WRESTLERS FROM WALL, NEPTUNE, NEPTUNE CITY, OR TINTON FALLS OR WRESTLERS WHO WERE GRANDFATHERED INTO THE WALL 1 TRAVEL TEAM THROUGH PAST SEASON WAIVERS)
