How is the Sudden Victory training program structured?
All of the programs at Sudden Victory are based on the training fundamentals of structured drilling, physical conditioning, competitive mentoring, and plenty of live wrestling. The classes at Sudden Victory are grouped according to age, weight, and experience level to provide the most challenging, well-matched work-out partners.

What is different about the training and instruction at Sudden Victory?
First and foremost, the instruction at Sudden Victory is comprehensive and high quality. It is composed of advanced, high percentage wrestling technique and proper fundamentals. This is essential as wrestlers move up in age level, since continuing success is increasingly determined by solid technique and an overall ability to wrestle. Second, some of the best wrestlers train with other top middle school and high school wrestlers. Third, the Coaches have wrestling and coaching experience at all levels, including college. They have the ability to recognize and correct subtle mistakes in technique that might easily go unidentified. Finally, the training and instruction offered at Sudden Victory can guide a wrestler's development from middle school to high school, and on to the college level.

Why should a wrestler train year-round?
Those wrestlers who desire to be champions must make a commitment to excellence that distinguishes them from the average competitor. Athletic excellence requires consistency, dedicated training, willingness to sacrifice, unwavering discipline and a relentless pursuit to be the best - not just during the season, but year-round. Year-round training is also an important way to stay in top condition and improve while other athletes take many months off.

My child may not be ready for year-round training, should we wait until later?
There are several reasons for deciding the time to pursue year-round wrestling. Opting for year-round training requires a level of commitment that a young wrestler must be eager to make on his own. For this reason it is very important that a young wrestler be prepared to devote the time and effort that it takes to achieve his best in the sport.

What is the difference between attending various camps / clinics for extra training and attending Sudden Victory?
Camps and clinics are useful for learning technique, tune-ups, or gaining exposure to a specific clinician's style, but cannot substitute for consistent, personal training, strategic instruction, and competitive mentoring. It is difficult to get focused, individual attention and quality instruction at some of the large camps and clinics. The training and instruction at Sudden Victory is systematic, comprehensive and geared toward establishing and building on a foundation of proper drilling, technique, and form. Moreover, class space is limited to ensure quality instruction and well-matched workout partners for intensity.

How do I sign up for classes, clinics, or special training?
New program information coming soon!!

If I submit an application form does it mean my child is guaranteed a class spot?
No guarantees of class availability can be promised. Applications are processed and class assignments are influenced by: 1) the availability of class space for the program level; 2) the matching of age, weight, and experience level with other applicants; and 3) the appropriateness of year-round training for a student given their previous competitive experience.

If my child cannot make it to a class because of scheduling conflicts, can he attend a class at another time to make up for it?
Yes, but no guarantees. Students enrolled in a particular class may attend a different class to make up a missed meeting. However, this is subject to matching the student with available workout partners as determined by age, weight, and experience level, at the sole discretion of the instructors. Mismatched weight and/or experience partners during live wrestling can set the stage for injury.

If my child plays another sport should I enroll him even if he will miss classes due to participation in the other sport?
If a student has a sincere interest in another sport besides wrestling it is best to encourage him to explore that interest. A student that commits to year-round training in the sport of wrestling should be ready and willing to invest the time and hard work to do so. Playing another sport can serve to reaffirm a student's commitment to the sport of wrestling or help them decide to pursue another sport that they prefer. It is important that kids be allowed to make that choice. However, if a student does not attend class regularly, their class spot may be forfeited.

If my child misses classes can a tuition credit be carried over to another term?
No tuition credits of any kind will be granted for missed class meetings.

Will my child keep his class spot if he does not attend regularly?
Students enrolled in classes at the Sudden Victory Wrestling Academy depend on the consistent attendance of one another for a variety of well-match workout partners during live wrestling. If a student does not attend class regularly, their class spot may not be available for renewal.
