There will be a FREE Youth Wrestling Clinic and Informational "Open House" for all PreK-6th grade kids interested in signing up for the season on Monday, September 23rd in the Waconia High School Main Gym at 7pm. The Clinic is geared towards brand new wrestlers wishing to explore the sport, possibly new to Waconia, and to meet returning wrestlers/parents across the program, and to meet coaches and ask questions. Parents are encouraged to come and stay and learn more about the program, details about the upcoming season and any questions prior to the registration deadline.

No sign-up is required for the clinic, just come and join the fun! For any questions on the clinic or the upcoming season contact Youth Program Administrator, Jeff Katherman (jdkatherman@gmail.com) or Youth Head Coach, Rafael Torres (rt58951us@yahoo.com).
