Summer Wrestling Practices, Conditioning and Weightlifting

Can't believe we are down to the last month of summer vacation here in Michigan before the new school year starts. I have two sons in college starting their sophmore year, Bryce attends Central Michigan, Zachary attends Michigan State where he wrestles, Jared is starting his Junior year of high school, Hunter is starting his 8th grade year in Middle School and last but not least Drew is starting his 2nd grade year in Elementary.  My younger boys all attend Lake Fenton Community Schools. 

This summer the boys trained all summer with the Lake Fenton Youth Wrestling Program.  Monday and Wednesdays they had conditioning and weight lifting and Tuesdays and Thursdays they had wrestling practice.  Our club brought in 3 Division 1 college wrestlers.  Our son Zachary Corcoran from Michigan State, Connor Brancheau from Michigan and Brandon Hill from Michigan.   Wow!  What a difference these free practices and conditioning has made.  The wrestling room was packed all summer with kids from around our area and kids which came from as far as an 1 1/2 hours away just to train.  Our club made all of these practices available for all wrestlers from any club or school, just not our own.  In addition to these practices the club put on 2 free mini camps on a couple different Saturdays that ran from 9-1pm approximately for anyone who was interested.  The same three college wrestlers ran these programs. 

The training doesn't stop here for the off season for the boys.  The boys will keep training this summer and then after Labor Day we have an All American Wrestler , Zach Stevens, from Michigan who will be joining our coaching staff.  When the actual wrestling season starts he will then run the youth program with my husband Vance Corcoran, who is also the head  wrestling coach at Lake Fenton High School.

What a great opportunity for all the boys and the friends they wrestled with all summer.  Our club was able to offer these free clinics and pay for the coaches they brought in by having our parents work the Poker Palace in Flint, Michigan.  They schedule non profit organizations to work tables selling poker chips.  It was an excellent way to make money for the club and best off all we were able to offer this great opportunity this summer to the wrestlers. 

Well, the boys have a good handle on their wrestling...now to get ready for school and get a handle on studying!
