The goal of these joint workouts is to get as many junior/youth competitors together in one place as possible so they can all get mat time with other’s in their skill, weight and age range that they don’t see all the time. This should be a great opportunity to play with other competitors and experience what it will take to play at the national level.
Cost: Costs will be 10 dollars per person. In the event that there are multiple club members we will discount each club member $2 per additional member (i.e. cost $8/person)
