PAL Wrestling

The PAL Wrestling Program has a very rich history. Having won various NCAAU State Championships in the past and Starting in the year 2001, they came in second place in 2000 and started a dynasty ever since.

Team Philosophy: To Work hard and stay focused! To believe in proper technique at all times! You are only as good as your workout partner. The PAL Wrestling Program is known for being physical; we condition hard and drill hard to develop good solid techniques and a hard nosed attitude. We develop our moves from the basics and build on them. We teach moves in series and try to help wrestlers develop their own strategy based on their strength, body build and quickness. The PAL coaching staff experiments with different techniques in conditioning, mat skills and mental toughness. This is truly the formula for success and what keeps us on top.
