Alberni Wrestling Kids Camp
The Alberni Wrestling Club is once again hosting their annual Kids Wrestling Camp July 8-10th in
the ADSS gymnasium. The camp will run over three days from 10am to 12
pm and will feature instruction from local coaches, alumni, and high
school wrestlers. As well as learning some basic wrestling moves and
technique, the camp participants will also partake
in fun wrestling themed activities.
Unfortunately, due to the labour dispute occurring in
June, high school students were unable to continue
the tradition of traveling to the SD70 elementary schools and
introducing the students there to the sport of Olympic wrestling. The
Alberni Valley Wrestling Club wants people to know that their popular
summer program will continue and their kids camp is being
offered once again free of charge.
"When
we [the wrestling club] introduce wrestling at elementary schools and
the kids camp, we always stress the importance of fun and safety,"
explains Aaron Keitlah, an ADSS high school
wrestling alumni and now a wrestler at North Island College and a coach
in the Alberni program. "We always go through a proper warm-up and
stretch to limit the possibility of injury and try hard to reveal the
enjoyment of wrestling rather than the competitive
side."
The
camp will be a great opportunity for kids to stay active and meet new
friends over the summer break. For some it will serve as a kick start to
summer and being a part of the wrestling programs
at the local middle schools. Others may come to simply enjoy
participating in the fun games. The camp focuses on participants in
Grades 4 -7, although there are some cases where younger and older
athletes have been involved.
Wrestling
is a fun and safe way to encourage and teach a healthy and active
lifestyle, as well as the feeling of being a part of a team.
Participants in the camp will learn
the fundamentals of the sport in a playful, fun-centered atmosphere
from some of the top development coaches in the province. Our Kids
Wrestling Camp is completely free so why not come out and give wrestling
a try.
If
you already feel like you would benefit from some time away from your
kids over the summer, this would be a perfect event to take part in.
The camp will run from 10 am
to 12 pm all three days with registration being held each day starting
at 9:30. There are registration forms available online at
www.alberniwrestling.ca or at the gymnasium which needs to be filled out
by a parent/guardian. Participants are asked to bring
gym strip and clean running shoes. If you have any questions or
concerns feel free to contact Nolan Badovinac or Ryan Yewchin at
250-723-1609.
Look at that smile!
I won the clubs two years ago, and my game hasn't been the same since! Here's hoping they do the same for Adam's game, because it could use some work! Only because he's too busy with hockey related matters and putting a winner on the ice instead of shooting under par, of course!
