ZM wrestling is having Freestyle/Greco-Roman open mat practices once a week starting Tuesday, March 17th in the Mazeppa wrestling room. A total of 9 practices for any ZM wrestler K-12. There is no cost. Currently scheduled and very excited to lead these practices include Chad Matthees, Paul Pagel, and Joey Majerus.
Here is a great article that explains why one should consider wrestling Greco-Roman and Freestyle in the spring. In short- these practices are designed to be relaxed and fun, yet very productive. No worries about cutting weight. No pressure from a team. You can focus on individual skills and experiment with different things. Don’t worry about not knowing the ins-and-outs of these styles, wrestling is wrestling. My son Ryan really enjoys FS/GR and looks forward to attending the practices as well as the local and regional tournaments.
