Located on the main campus in Montreat, McAlister Gymnasium is home to the men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams.
My staff and I are dedicated to promoting excellence in character and performance on the mat, while stressing the importance of learning life skills off the mat. These camps will give wrestlers and coaches an opportunity to gain valuable insight on what it takes to be successful at the highest levels of wrestling in high school and college from clinicians who have lived it!
The clinicians were chosen for this camp specifically for two reasons: character, and their ability to teach technique successfully to wrestlers at all levels of wrestling. We believe that every link in a chain is important, so every individual is viewed as a valuable member of our camp. - Pat Popolizio
Regardless of your skill level, we promise to give you the opportunity to improve your wrestling prowess through lecture, demonstration, and plenty of on-mat application. Our staff will partner up with the Penn State coaching staff and wrestlers to ensure you receive the instruction you need to become a more accomplished grappler.

TWA provides coaching for beginner, intermediate, and advanced-level wrestlers. Our coaching style emphasizes an offense-minded approach, introducing wrestling techniques effective across all levels while creating a positive, high-intensity environment to maximize performance and technical development.
In our wrestling room, we surround kids with role models who inspire and challenge them to be the best version of themselves. Our mission is to provide opportunities for kids to accomplish their goals, receive scholarships, and further their education through their wrestling journey.
We create a dynamic and high-level training environment by leveraging our extensive wrestling network. Accomplished athletes and coaches, past and present, regularly visit to share their perspectives and skill sets while serving as role models and mentors for our athletes. By bringing in elite clinicians and exposing wrestlers to different styles and techniques, we provide unique learning opportunities that foster growth and development.
Novice wrestlers take defeat in stride, always striving for improvement! When both the wrestler and coach agree the Novice is ready to move on, the wrestler can move to Intermediate Training Group.
Intermediate wrestlers have some experience, are familiar with basic technique and are beginning to chain moves together to score points offensively.
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to grow into the person that they want to become. Learn more about our training programs. They focus on learning and improving basic skill sets.
