USA Wrestling will host the 2nd Annual All-American Camp in Fargo, North Dakota at the Concordia University campus from July 12-17.

This camp is an outstanding opportunity for State Associations to send their women's team to Fargo, North Dakota for a pre-National Championships Training Camp.

The purpose of the 2nd Annual USA Wrestling All-American Camp is to help the states prepare their female athletes for the ASICS/Vaughan Junior National Championships July 20~21, 2009.

The camp will be open to all female Junior Division National Championship participants.

The camp will be coordinated and facilitated by USA Wrestling Women's National Staff. This camp will give the USA Wrestling Women's National Coaching Staff an opportunity to observe and evaluate some of the United States' best young talent, which will eventually lead our future World and Olympic Teams.

It also offers Junior women wrestlers an opportunity to improve their technique and experience, as well as to receive high-level preparation for competing at the Junior Nationals. Training camp will include both technique and conditioning sessions.
