Summer 2025...
Today is our last workout with the guys, as we cut them loose to head home for 3 weeks, besides Sonny and Parker as they prepare for U20 Trials and U23s for Parker.
It's been a great Spring training cycle with the US Open and the WTT coinciding, while everyone else got better and finished up school. Along the way we picked up a couple commitments, as well as some transfers (Miller and Desiante) and are hoping to add one more real soon.
The boys will head home, for some much needed down time, which will allow them to work camps, take vacations and recharge their batteries before coming back June 21 for a 5 week training cycle while also running our VT Camps.
We will have 4 camps in Blacksburg, so let your home town team know about TEAM CAMP (July 7-10) or any other wrestlers as we have 2 High Performance Training Camps and our normal Skills and Drills Camp.
Excited to get our entire 2025 Class on campus soon, as we have had a good majority of them here the month of April and early May, but the energy will be at another level once we get Seidel, Gorman, Nininger, Gaj, Weader and Burton all in one place!
Bryce will wrestle June 14th at Final X against Ian Parker for his spot on the National Team. (this gives Bryce a small monthly stipend, paid trip to the OTC, and atleast one paid overseas trip)
Lastly, Coach Robie is doing great, gaining steam each and every day, but will it will definitely take some time for him to be 100%. He's been in the office and in the wrestling room the last couple days, so he's getting back to normal slowly but surely. He appreciates all the kind words and prayers, it is a pretty amazing gesture and we couldn't be more happy for our leader and especially the health of our good friend Norm Latona!!
ps. if you have any questions you think I can answer don't hesitate to ask, I will answer the ones I feel are applicable for the good of the group. I think you guys will be pretty excited about the possibilities of this 2025-26 Roster!

Coach, are we seeing training centers innovate pre-college development?
