Preparation

How We Prepare Athletes

Preparation is planned across a season rather than a single weekend. Athletes drill positions, apply them in live rounds, and build a game that fits them.

Wrestling is part of the plan. Friday is a dedicated wrestling session, and takedowns and top control are trained through the week. Gi training runs Wednesday and Thursday, so athletes stay prepared for gi and no-gi rulesets.

On competition weekends, coaches handle match strategy and mat-side coaching, and keep parents informed.
