EVANSTON, Ill. -- Young wrestlers looking to train with many of the best coaches and wrestlers in the country this summer will be able to do just that at the annual Northwestern Wrestling Camps in Evanston. NU is offering four total sessions during the weeks of June 27-30 and July 11-14 that will feature highly individualized coaching on the best training methods and techniques.
"The Northwestern Camp System has become an exceptional tool in a wrestler's wrestling career regardless of the age or skill level," said NU associate head coach and co-camp director Drew Pariano. "Our intensive camp challenges all wrestlers and our technique camps have always been top notch. The team/competition camp is gaining momentum and it is our desire to attract teams from across the nation."
Interested participants can learn complete camp information and register online now at NUWrestlingcamps.com or download the PDF camp brochure, linked above.
Northwestern wrestling camps are directed by Pariano and 20-year head coach at Northwestern Tim Cysewski, who together over the past five years have coached 23 NCAA qualifiers, 11 All-Americans, six Big Ten champions and three national champions at NU.
The winners of those three individual titles -- Jake Herbert (2007, 2009) and Dustin Fox (2008) -- join Pariano and Cysewski on the Northwestern camp staff. Herbert, the 2009 Hodge Trophy winner, is coming off winning his second straight U.S. Open title after winning a World silver medal last September during his first year as a U.S. World Team member at 84 kg. Fox, meanwhile, is two years removed from winning the triple crown of college wrestling in his senior season, bringing home heavyweight titles from the Midlands, Big Ten and NCAA Championships.
Also on the camp clinician staff is NU assistant coach Matt Storniolo, a two-time All-American while at Oklahoma who in 2009 coached Old Dominion's Ryan Williams to the 141-pound NCAA title match.
The schedule for the summer is as follows: June 27-30: Technique Camp #1 (recommended ages 8-18) June 27-July 1: Intensive Camp (recommended ages 12-18) July 11-14: Technique Camp #2 (recommended ages 8-18) July 11-14: Competition and Team Camp (IKWF/Junior High/High School Teams or Individuals)
The 2010 Northwestern Wrestling technique camp will help you acheive your summer wrestling objectives and will lead you to an outstanding 2010-11 season. You will train with one of the finest collegiate wrestling teams in the nation and you will be learning from NCAA Champions and World-Team members. In 2010, we will be incorporating more live wrestling in the afternoon sessions!
Many sessions will be held in the multi-million dollar Ken Kraft Wrestling Complex, giving you one of the finest training facilities in the nation to prepare for summer competition. You will need to arrive in shape and ready to work hard for three to four sessions a day! This camp provides preparation for schoolboy, cadet and junior national championships in freestyle and Greco roman technique. It is limited to the first 50 applicants so register soon!

This camp will take you to the next level and give you a chance to learn the team concepts that the Wildcats have perfected. Each team/individual will have a varsity NU wrestler as their personal coach for the week who will provide written feedback. Every wrestler will receive 12-14 matches throughout the camp.
