WRESTLINGGEAR.COM ANNOUNCES FALL CLINIC TO HELP COACHES "GET READY FOR THE MAT!"

Franklin Park, IL - September 27, 2006 - WrestlingGear.Com is working with youth, high school and college coaches to put together a unique program to help coaches "Get Ready for the Mat!" In addition to several sessions on technique, there will be sessions on how coaches can improve their team's results both on and off the mat.

Be sure to leave Nov 12, 2006 open so you can attend this clinic in Franklin Park, IL. The clinic will be from 12:15 to 4:30. 

Speakers will include Mark Massery, NCAA Champion and Wild Cat Wrestling Club President, Mike Bukovsky, Head Coach Montini Catholic, Harry McGinnis, Head Coach and Athletic Director Triton College, Ken Zintak, Arlington Cardinals Kids Club Coach. In addition to this lineup, we will have several top officials talk about officiating and answer any questions.

"I think we have put together a unique program of coaches and wrestling leaders who will talk about ideas on goal setting, marketing, rewarding athletes, and more. It won't be just another technique clinic. Also, coaches will be able to visit tables of wrestling top manufacturers including Matman, adidas, Asics, Brute, Cliff Keen, and Action Atheltics Mats," said Jeff Pape of WrestlingGear.com

All the proceeds from the clinic will be given to The Smile Train, an organization that helps kids with cleft lips. A cleft lip is a condition where the top of the lip does not form properly during pregnancy. A cleft lip can be corrected with surgery. 

WrestlingGear.Com has already raised over $3,000 during their fundraiser in May. 

"We are looking forward to helping kids who were born with a cleft lip that might otherwise have to live with this fixable facial birth defect. With our National website and our local clinic we can help build awareness about cleft lips and help raise money to help children," said Jeff Pape, owner of WrestlingGear.Com, whose son was born with a cleft lip.
