The past few years I've refereed the
UWW Military Olympic Games (Korea).
UWW Military World Championships (USA).
UWW Cadet Pan American Championships (Brazil).
UWW Dave Schultz International (USA).
UWW Bill Ferrell International (USA).
UWW Arvo Haavisto Greco International (Finland).
US Senior World Team Trials.
US Open, University Nationals, Cadet/Junior Nationals (Fargo) plus a host of regional, state and local events.

This clinic is a kickoff event for the Sick Nasty Freestyle Club. We are trying to start a regional training center and the idea is to bring all of the top wrestlers from the Northern Shenandoah Valley area into one room during the spring. The practices will be high intensity and each wrestler will learn cutting edge freestyle technique that wins championships. Plan to attend with an in-season mentality that is goal oriented. The goals: - Freestyle State Champions - Freestyle All-Americans - Freestyle State Duals Champions
