- Specialized Focus: Tailored techniques to address common challenges faced during the Freshman/Sophomore State Series.
- Top-Tier Coaching: Learn directly from Coach Izzy Martinez and his proven system designed to produce immediate, noticeable improvements.

- Collaborative Environment: Train with peers who share your passion for wrestling.

- If you don’t qualify for sectionals or state, we still encourage you to finish the camp.
- Just because you don’t advance doesn’t mean your season—or your improvement—has to stop.
- Use this training to carry momentum into your sophomore or junior seasons and beyond.
