2011 Future
    Junior Worlds 2011    
    We will have 3 of our athletes try out to qualify for the Junior Worlds in 2011 in July.
Vladyslav, Harley, & Liam will take part in the 39 weeks preparation training that will include 3 major qualifying events Oceania, Australian Wrestling Nationals & Australia Cup in 2011. The Junior Worlds preparation will begin mid November 2010.
   
    We are now in discussion with the athletes and their parents/guardians on what is going to be expected from the athletes and me as a coach to prepare them. These 3 athletes have shown desirable qualities for the required sport performance and we are going to invest our time and effort to see their qualities being greatly developed.    
    To compete against the top wrestling nations and to be successful the key for us is in the strategic preparation and plan that we must execute now. This is going to be an excellent preparation and experience for these athletes and executing this pilot training method we are going to lift up the required training standards of Australian wrestlers and develop the sport to be competent, confident and successful in the future.    
       
RW Sport Specific mission of the 2020 wrestling program is to expand and develop wrestling from the youth through the Olympic level. Our dream is to provide opportunities for boys and girls in the activity of wrestling, and building lifelong skills.
We are now looking for the Sponsors that will assist in the operation of the program as the athletes and coach will invest up to 10 hours per week in the sport specific training, there will be 2-3 overseas trips, 2 leading national wrestling events, 7 educational preparation courses, and 2 competition preparation course before each of the leading wrestling events. Let’s make dreams come true!!
This is going to be a tremendous step up for our club in preparing the selected athletes towards qualifying events in 2011 for the Junior Worlds. Please join our team.
