Wolf Pack Duals in Salina
We left on Monday and got back Thursday afternoon. What a camp. We had about 13 or more matches (duals style) in 3 days, then had a single elimination tournament on Thursday. A great amount of mat time. They boys wrestled well, and learned a few moves along the way. We had 13 boys along for the ride.
We stayed at the Johnson (Morgan Palmers) family Ranch up Salina Canyon. What a great place. All the boys stayed on a bunk house and the Palmer family cook most of the meals. Great food. A big thanks to the Palmer/Johnson families for hosting us and feeding us.
Hopefully all of the boys that went learned something new and bonded with the others that went. I think we will make this an annual summer excursion. We may take an extra day next year and plan a hike or fishing trip or something not wrestling related.
Thanks to all the boys who attended and I hope to see all of you on Monday morning at our weight training session. Remember to bring running shoes, as well as wrestling shoes for technique after weights is over.

Delta Wrestling Camp Notes
What a success, again!
We ended up taking 8 of our wrestlers and 1 cousin of a wrestler to the Millard County Camp earlier this week. The head technician was Mark Ironside. I would recommend you watch some of his matches on line. Great wrestler. He taught us some great things from all positions. He talked about what separates a good wrestler from a great wrestler is usually one thing, and that is that they not only can take anyone down, escape from anyone (which is what a good wrestler can do), but that they can apply Constant Grinding Pressure from the top position.
He also taught his famous sit-back series. Very good technique to add to our arsenal. He also taught about the front head and arm (short offense) from the standing position.
Over all it was a great experience. All boys enjoyed the trip and I hope they feel like it was worth the money. We did spend both nights at a new location, which was a blast. It is a recreation type center, with racquet ball courts, basketball courts, baseball fields, pool tables and more. It was great. I think we will do that again next year.
Now we are off to the Wolf Pack Duals in Salina on Monday morning through Thursday of next week.
