We are officially 6 weeks into our Preseason Semester, which means we have just 5 WEEKS REMAINING!
The regular WINTER WRESTLING SEASON is right around the corner, and things are about to get busy at SlyFox! Here’s everything you need to know this week, including our first look at the 2026–2027 Winter Season schedule.
🔥 PRESEASON TRAINING THIS WEEK
Our Experienced/Advanced wrestlers have three opportunities to train this week:
Monday - 5:30–7:00 PM
Tuesday - 5:30–7:00 PM
Wednesday - 5:30–7:00 PM
Want to jump into Preseason late? YOU CAN! We have pro-rated the remaining five weeks for experienced wrestlers who want to join us and get ready for the upcoming season.
🦊 FOLKSTYLE 101 | BEGINNERS
Our beginner wrestlers have TWO Folkstyle 101 opportunities remaining this Preseason:
October 8 - 5:30–6:45 PM
October 22 - 5:30–6:45 PM
These sessions are a great opportunity for newer wrestlers to learn the fundamentals and get comfortable on the mat before winter practices begin.
❄️ 2026–2027 WINTER SEASON
IT'S ALMOST HERE!
We've built our winter schedule and are excited to share it with our SlyFox families. This season, we are offering multiple training levels so wrestlers can train in an environment appropriate for their age, experience, and development.
LEVEL 0 | INTRO TO WRESTLING
📍 Olathe West High School Wrestling Room
2200 W. Santa Fe, Olathe, KS
Monday & Wednesday | 6:00–6:45 PM
Season: November 30 – February 3
Level 0 is designed for brand-new wrestlers ages 4–8 who want to learn wrestling without the commitment or pressure of competition.
This is where we introduce kids to the sport, teach the basics, build confidence and, most importantly, make wrestling FUN!
LEVEL 1 - DEVELOPING WRESTLERS
📍 The Fox Hole
2115 E. Kansas City Rd., Olathe, KS
Tuesday & Thursday - 5:00–6:15 PM
Season: November 16 – February 4
Level 1 is designed for ages 6–14, typically wrestlers in their first two seasons of wrestling. Some third-year wrestlers may also be appropriate for Level 1 based on development and experience.
Wrestlers ages 4 and 5 are not eligible for Level 1.
Level 1 wrestlers will have opportunities to compete at SlyFox-sponsored competitions throughout the season.
LEVEL 2 - EXPERIENCED WRESTLERS
Monday - 6:45–8:15 PM
Wednesday - 5:00–6:30 PM
Thursday - 6:30–8:00 PM
Level 2 is designed for our experienced 8–14 year-old wrestlers, typically with three or more seasons of wrestling experience.
Some experienced 7-year-olds may be approved for Level 2 by the SlyFox coaching staff.
Expect a faster-paced room with more advanced technique, drilling, live wrestling and preparation for competition.
🚨 IMPORTANT: CHOOSE THE CORRECT LEVEL
This season, wrestlers may participate in ONE LEVEL ONLY.
If your wrestler is registered for Level 1, they attend Level 1 practices. If they are registered for Level 2, they attend Level 2 practices.
Wrestlers may NOT attend practices in a different level than the one they are registered for.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
This allows our coaching staff to build each curriculum specifically for the wrestlers in that room, maintain appropriate coach-to-wrestler ratios, and provide a better developmental experience for everyone.
If you're unsure which level is appropriate for your wrestler, please reach out before registering. We are happy to help determine the best fit.
REGISTRATION LINKS FOR THE UPCOMING SEASON TO BE RELEASED VERY SOON!!!
The countdown is on. Five weeks of Preseason remain, then it's time for the 2026–2027 SlyFox Winter Season!
Keep showing up. Keep putting in the work. We're just getting started. 🦊
ONE PACK. ONE PURPOSE.
