JJ Trained focuses on the everyday youth wrestler who wants to compete at the highest level regardless of size, race, athletic ability, special needs, etc.  Our all-inclusive community includes practices that consist of technique and live wrestling, challenging your kids both physically and mentally. Your wrestler is not just a number; our coaches take the time to make sure your kids are improving so they have the opportunity to reach their full potential.   

Due to Covid Regulations, we had to cancel our summer session. We still wanted to make sure that our wrestlers had opportunities to train so we've created a complimentary workout schedule.  See below for our June schedule and join our Facebook group JJ Trained for updates.

 JJ TRAINED ELITE (PK-8) - 9/13/20-5/15/21

A year round intense, elite program looking for wrestlers that push the pace and bring the fight to each second of practice and competition.  Athletes, as well as parents are expected to buy into the process (doesn't happen overnight) and represent themselves as leaders in the community as well as JJ Trained in a positive and respectful manner.  Athletes are expected to push themselves and be accountable.  Your best effort and attitude will always be expected.  

1-2 day session options will be structured so that JJ Trained wrestlers will learn fundamental and advanced techniques within the sport, how to drill and wrestle in specific situations, compete at an elite level, and learn to develop goals and push themselves to achieve those goals.  Wrestlers do not need to be advanced level.  JJ Trained is for all skill levels that are looking to improve and out work their competition.  Our goal is to give your child every opportunity to be successful on and off the mat.

Elite sessions will start on September 13th and run through May 15th.  As a bonus, the 2021 JJ Trained Summer Sundays session will be complimentary so that each Elite wrestler has an opportunity to wrestle year round. 

A $50 non-refundable deposit is due with the application.  Remaining sessions fees will be due on the 1st day of practice in September.  4-month payment plans (9/1, 10/1, 11/1, 12/1) will be available upon request.  Additional processing fees may apply to the payment plan.
