Coach Ryan King is a two-time Division II All-American and two-time Minnesota state high school champion. Ryan will focus on developing basic and advanced wrestling techniques necessary to compete at a high school level while also incorporating the fun aspect of the sport. The schedule will run November thru January, including evening practices and meets. Meets are typically on weeknights starting about 4:00 p.m. Participants will receive a Maple Grove Wrestling T-shirt. Wrestling headgear can also be lent out.
