Just a quick update on the Black Diamond Wrestling Camp as we get closer to camp time!
Due to continued growth in camp numbers, the camp has officially been moved from Frontenac High School to the Plaster Center at Pittsburg State University.
đź“Ť Robert W. Plaster Center1701 S Homer StPittsburg, KS 66762
We will now be running 8 mats so we can continue opening the camp up to more wrestlers while still maintaining our goal of approximately a 1-to-20 OSU wrestler-to-camper ratio.
We’re also excited to announce Ronnie Ramirez has been added to the camp staff, with the possibility of more additions coming soon!
This is a camp not just a clinic.• Grades 6-12 will receive at least 9 hours of wrestling over 3 days• Youth wrestlers will receive approximately 4.5 to 5 hours of mat time
At only $125, we’ve worked hard alongside generous donors and supporters to help keep this opportunity affordable for wrestling families.
Spots are continuing to fill quickly, and we are excited about the strong turnout from wrestlers across the region. Our staff is committed to creating a fun, competitive, and high quality environment where athletes can improve their skills, learn from top level wrestlers, and enjoy a great camp experience.
