2010-2011 Metro Mondays

 

Starting Monday December 6, 2010 the Hi Flyers continue to host Mn/USA Metro Monday Folkstyle training sites at two locations this year, Minnetonka High School and the OLD Saint Michael-Albertville High School.  Wrestlers may attend either site after signing up at one site with HiFlyer Wrestling.  The HiFlyer wrestling club originated Metro Mondays and we are pleased that other clubs have adopted Monday training during the High School season.  Metro Mondays are a great way to train in Folkstyle technique and get some top-notch workouts with wrestlers from many different communities.  World silver medalist and Golden Gopher Division I coach Brandon Eggum will be coaching at Minnetonka High School.  Coach Jake Grygelko, a long time HiFlyer Wrestler and recent Augsburg wrestling team member will be coaching at St. Michael on Mondays this year.  Jake was a state wrestling finalist and two time place winner during his wrestling career at STMA.  He will be helped by John Thorn, current assistant coach for the new STMA high school and Tim Mlsna.  John Thorn has been involved with and coaching wrestling since he was a NCAA Division 1 All American from Iowa State University in 1983.  Our Metro Monday program is intended for 8th grade and under as long as you are not on varsity.  The practices are designed for kids that have a reasonable understanding of the basics and want to build from there.  Each practice will be approximately 2/3 technique and drilling and 1/3 live wrestling.

 

The cost for Metro Monday HiFlyer Traning is $50 and you will need a USA Wrestling card.  If you do not have your card for this year we will have card sign up available at the first practice at a cost of $31 ($36 online from www.mnusawrestling.org).  Having a USA Wrestling card is mandatory to cover our insurance requirements for the facilities.
