Program Information

This program is designed for dedicated wrestlers who consistently train and compete year-round in Folkstyle, Freestyle and/or Greco-Roman wrestling.  Enrollment is only considered for students who seek year-round training at the Overtime School of Wrestling.

High School students will build on an existing knowledge base of advanced wrestling fundamentals by committing themselves to hard training, intense drilling, and competitive live wrestling.  Students will achieve a higher level of mastery of the sport through: 1) exposure to techniques and training that are currently used at the elite levels collegiate and international wrestling (e.g., Olympic training techniques); 2) practices that are intense and challenging to students; and 3) immersion in an environment that will increase physical capabilities, competitive limitations and mental toughness. 

•  Post-Season: Organized training sessions are focused on Freestyle wrestling technique and strategies to prepare students for success at the numerous state, regional, national, and international competitions at the Cadet and Junior levels. The post-season is broken down into two training cycles - spring and summer.  

•  Pre-Season: The focus of this session will be solely Folkstyle wrestling.  The training plan consists of a systematic approach combining advanced technique, structured drilling, and building strong conditioning for the Folkstyle season.  With the start of competition just around the corner, the Pre-season is a prime time to gain new skills, enhance existing ones, sharpen reactions, and improve timing.

•  In-Season: Training for the In-Season is available only to students who are enrolled in Overtime programs for the current year and have a valid USA Wrestling card.  Private lesson classes for the In-Season will be held on Sundays.  Given the busy schedule of the high school wrestling season, these sessions will be on a walk-in basis.  The agenda for every Sunday private lesson class will include: trouble-shooting, technique, drilling, and maintaining motivation, as well as optional hard wrestling and/or conditioning.  Students will focus on the area(s) of their choice on a week-by-week basis with the assistance of the Overtime staff. 

•  Please note that IHSA guidelines will be enforced throughout the In-Season program, which limits attendance of students from the same high school to two students per high school for each Sunday private lesson class.  If more than two students from the same high school regularly attend Overtime and plan to participate in a Sunday private lesson class, it is the students' responsibility to communicate among themselves and determine which two students will be attending on a given Sunday.
