CLASSES FOR ALL age levels
Wherever you or your athlete are in your journey as a wrestler, Greater Heights is here to see you through. We’re committed to our athletes and promise elite coaching and training at all levels.
LIGHT INFANTRY - 4-6 YRS
This group is lead by Coach Hiram Morales aka “Coach M”. He’s one of the best youth coaches in the country when it comes to this age group. His patience, creativeness and motivation fosters not only a foundational understanding of the sport but also a joyous love for it. Athletes will learn to follow directions, implement self-control and begin to process the concepts of pressure, body control and athleticism.
Level 1 - 7 YRS & UP (Beginner to Inetermediate Wrestlers)
This group spans from wrestlers bridging from Light Infantry to those just joining the sport to those that have hit the intermediate level. The training is often divided in sub-groups to allow for continued development of those with some wrestling experience already or those athletes who are on the fast track and those needing a slower, more methodical pace. These practices focus on building strong fundamental skills and wrestlers learning how to drill effectively in order to reach consistency in the techniques being taught. In turn, this consistency leads to wrestlers beginning to see success during competitions.
LEVEL 2 - Advanced Training (Experienced & competitive Wrestlers)
This group is comprised of athletes who have extensive wrestling experience and understand the commitment level to compete successfully at state and national events. The training is similar to how high schools and colleges run their workouts. Wrestlers will be challenged regularly with a high expectation in terms of disclipine, focus and effort. These practices are closed practices which mean that only athletes and coaches are permitted to be present in the training environment.
GIRLS PROGRAM
Our girls program has quickly become the best girls program in the state. No longer are females expected to sit in the bleachers during tournaments! Girls wrestling is the fastest growing sport in the country and we are committed to providing comprehensive training and support for those who are trailblazers. Our club mixes both primary, scheduled club practices with separate girls practices to provide a well-balanced approach in these athletes’ developments.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons offer wrestlers the opportunity to receive more individualized instruction with a Greater Heights coach that is invested in the athlete’s mastery of techniques. During these 45-60 minute sessions typically, wrestlers will work with a partner or within a small group spending time on the intricacies of technique and fine-tuning areas. Often coaches will have a blend between instruction and some live wrestling to coach athletes through positions and provide a hand-on approach so athletes can understand while “doing”.
FREESTYLE & GRECO
The FRECO season follows the Folkstyle youth and regular high school wrestling season. Training traditionally starts in March/April and runs through June/July. This training is focused on the Olympic styles of wrestling which are Freestyle and Greco-Roman. FARGO is one of the largest tournaments in the world for high school athletes and we have had a solid track record of putting both boys and girls on the podium. Many college scholarships are earned based off of Fargo finishes. Our program dedicates itself to preparing our wrestlers to have monumental Fargo performances.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Our club offers 45 minute and 1 hour sessions with our top coaches. These spots are limited.
