INSTRUCTORS
All of our in the instructors at Lions Pride are decorated and experienced coaches. Not only are they veterans of coaching but they are decorated wrestlers with years of experience on and off the mat. You will find that with the staff we have assembled you will get the best overall experience and approach to coaching for your kids. Our instructors are teachers, parents, community stewards, and most importantly mentors.
Kids learn on different levels and although one student may respond the way I show a particular move, another may not. I have always felt that having multiple approaches to the same move taught by different individuals will more than likely reach "ALL" the students.
