Moving forward, sessions are tentatively scheduled for the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month.

🦃 THANKSGIVING BREAK – NO PRACTICE

Please mark your calendars! We will NOT have practice on:
❌ Thursday, November 26 – Thanksgiving Day
❌ Friday, November 27 – Black Friday

Enjoy the holiday and some well-deserved family time!

💚 GIVE TO THE MAX DAY – HELP US REACH $3,000!

Early giving officially begins TODAY, November 1, with Minnesota’s Give to the Max Day happening Thursday, November 19!

🎯 Our goal: $3,000

We’re raising funds for two important upgrades:
🔹 Locker room improvements to create a better space for our wrestlers.
🔹 A crash pad to provide additional equipment for safely practicing throws and developing technique.

💚 Donate here: https://give.mn/afnetf

Every dollar brings us closer to our goal! If you’re unable to donate, sharing our fundraiser with friends, family, and local businesses is another great way to help.

THANK YOU, WRESTLING FAMILIES!

We’re grateful for the continued support of our Wrestling Brotherhood | Sisterhood community. From showing up at practice to supporting fundraisers and encouraging our athletes, you help make all of this possible.

🎃 WHAT’S SCARIER THAN HALLOWEEN?! 🤼‍♂️

👻 Ghosts? Nope.

🧟 Zombies? Not even close.

🏚️ Haunted houses? Please.

💀 Getting cradled and pinned by a 10 year old in front of your entire family? NOW THAT’S TERRIFYING! 😭😂

Let’s face it, the only thing scarier than a haunted house is stepping onto the mat with a Wrestling Brotherhood/Sisterhood wrestler!

Luckily, tonight we’re trading takedowns for treats and pins for pumpkins! 🎃🍬 Just remember, if someone grabs the last Reese’s, that’s NOT an excuse to shoot a double leg!

Wishing all our wrestlers, families, and supporters a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Stay safe, have fun, and remember… champions aren’t afraid of a little competition! 🏆💪

💪We’re taking training to the next level!🧠

We’re excited to introduce Group Sports Psychology & Mental Performance Sessions led by our very own Andre Harnitz!

These sessions will help athletes strengthen their mental game by developing confidence, focus, mental toughness, and the ability to perform under pressure — skills that extend far beyond the wrestling mat.

Tentative Schedule:
📅 1st & 3rd Sundays of each month, beginning November 1st
⏰ 5:30–6:15 PM, before our 6:30 PM practice
🤼 Open to wrestlers in grades 5–12

GROUP sessions are INCLUDED with Wrestling Brotherhood membership at NO additional cost!

Andre brings decades of wrestling and coaching experience, a Master’s Degree in Sport Psychology/Physical Education, and over 20 years of experience leading mental performance training for the Minnesota Storm teams.

We’re also working toward offering individual one on one sessions with Andre for athletes interested in personalized mental performance training. These will be available at an additional cost, with more information on pricing and scheduling coming soon!

We’re excited to provide our athletes with another opportunity to grow, build confidence, and develop a stronger competitive mindset.

Because champions aren’t just built physically, they’re built mentally, too.
