Schedule Private Lesson

“Coach Jamison trains my two older children ages 10 & 9, through private training sessions, complimenting their training with their Club. He has been a tremendous source of acceleration to their skill set! He gives them the one on one focus to drill their strengths and weaknesses, or teaching them new moves! He’s encouraging and kind, but holds my children accountable to perform their best! I would highly recommend any young wrestler to be trained under Coach Jamison!”
