The M-RTC Olympic Development Camp is designed to fuel the Olympic Dream for qualified wrestlers who consistently train and compete freestyle and/or Greco-Roman wrestling.

Participants will build on an existing knowledge base of advanced wrestling fundamentals by committing themselves to technical development, drilling/position sparring, and competitive live wrestling throughout the camp.
