Edited release
08/07/23
Registration is now open for the inaugural Women’s Wrestling Academy led by Coach Clarissa Chun, her staff, and members of the University of Iowa Women’s Wrestling team on Sept. 22—23 in Iowa City.
Modeled after the Iowa Ladies Football Academy, the Women’s Wrestling Academy will provide a unique opportunity for women of all ages to immerse themselves in the sport of wrestling and learn what it takes to be a women’s wrestler at Iowa.
The Saturday, Sept. 23, event at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City will provide insider access and a behind-the-scenes tour of the Iowa facilities. Participants will learn about everything from scoring and strategy to nutrition and video review and take part in the same daily drills as the athletes.
To attend the academy, participants must raise at least $250. Those who raise at least $500 also will get to take part in an exclusive Wine and Wrestle Meet and Greet event on Friday, Sept. 22, with Coach Chun and members of the UI Women’s Wrestling team.
The Iowa Women’s Wrestling Club formed early this year to provide the coaching, training environment, and financial support necessary for female athletes to compete for and win Olympic and world championships after completing their collegiate careers.
