Coach Jason Cook

We have many great wrestling opportunities happening in the Valpo HS Wrestling room, and I want to take a moment to explain them and give you access to them. We have wrestling available at VHS year round, and the summer is a time when you can differentiate your wrestler's experience.

Viking Wrestling Club Youth Summer Practice Sessions: The boys sessions are Mondays and Wednesdays 9:30-11AM, while girls are 9:30-11AM Tuesdays and Thursdays. Both boys and girls can also attend our open workout to all ages Tuesdays 5:30-7PM. Here is the link to the sign-ups: https://vikingwrestlingclub.sportngin.com/register/form/568007616

Middle School and High School wrestlers are encouraged to lift and wrestle during the summer. MS and HS wrestlers can come to the Tuesday open wrestling workout 5:30-7PM and also wrestle Wednesdays and Thursdays 12:25-1:55PM. Lifts follow these wrestling workouts and are also on Tuesdays. Lifts are 2-2:45PM Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Valpo HS wrestlers can attend these and the other Viking Wrestling Club practices free of charge. All of these workouts are in green on the calendar.

We also have a new opportunity in our Valpo HS Wrestling Room for more experienced wrestlers that want to challenge themselves more this summer and in the future. Coach Boatright and I have joined with Sean McMurray and Kasper McIntosh to start a new club called The Mat Club. This club will be working to create high level training for wrestlers in Valpo. We have already had some wrestlers sign up from Valpo, Portage, Chesterton, and Wheeler, which shows that people want to come to the VHS wrestling room to train at a high level, which is great for our Valpo wrestlers because there is less travel needed to keep leveling up or skills and success.

This is Coach Cook. I hope you are having a great Memorial Day weekend, and I hope you are making it to the finish line of the school with a great summer to come!

We have many great wrestling opportunities happening in the Valpo HS Wrestling room, and I want to take a moment to explain them and give you access to them. We have wrestling available at VHS year round, and the summer is a time when you can differentiate your wrestler's experience.

I've included a picture of our weekly schedule of opportunities, and those names will make more sense with the info below.

If your wrestler is 5-7 years old and is wanting to wrestle, then there is one opportunity which is the Viking Wrestling Club Youth Summer Practice Sessions. The boys sessions are Mondays and Wednesdays 9:30-11AM, while girls are 9:30-11AM Tuesdays and Thursdays. Both boys and girls can also attend our open workout to all ages Tuesdays 5:30-7PM.

Wrestlers in upper grade school can also attend our Viking Wrestling Club Youth Summer Practice session. Here is the link to the sign-ups: https://vikingwrestlingclub.sportngin.com/register/form/568007616

I hope this information makes sense out of the picture of the schedule I included. If it does not, or if you have any questions, please let me know.

Have a great day, summer, etc. I'd love to see your wrestler in the room, but above all, I hope they are using effort and toughness to become better people. Have a great one.
