WEST OTTAWA OFF-SEASON POINT SYSTEM
West Ottawa will be utilizing its Off-Season Point System again to ensure that all wrestlers are working towards the next season. It is no secret that hard work is the greatest weapon at the disposal of the wrestler. With that in mind, this way the coaching staff can actually quantify the work ethic of the athletes on the team and keep them steadily moving towards their goals.

The program works as such, review the list of approved activities. when you complete one of the tasks, please notify coaching  staff so that it can be documented.  At the start of the next season,  points will be calculated for each team member. The top seven scorers will become that season's captains. All wrestlers will be able to cash their points in for various gifts or gear (not exceeding $25)

WEST OTTAWA SUMMER WRESTLING CAMP 

Featuring a high-profile slate of national and regional coaches and athletes, the West Ottawa Wrestling Camp emphasizes technical skill development and strategy. Our curriculum covers everything from fundamentals—stance, positioning, takedowns, and escapes—to advanced technique and strategy, including set-ups, finishes, and drilling. We separate wrestlers into smaller groups determined by age, weight, and ability, so each wrestler will receive a level of training that fits their skill and experience level. Our camp's philosophy also relies on teaching a disciplined, focused mindset that is the trademark of the "Pantherstyle" Ethos.

College coaches direct the West Ottawa Wrestling Camp along with All-American wrestlers. Active college wrestlers serve as counselors at this camp, as well as regional all-star talent. Our premier roster of coaches and wrestlers will train side-by-side with camp athletes and lead by example with the discipline and work ethic that is the camp's foundation.  This is all done at no cost to all West Ottawa Public School athletes.
