For now, however, they are busy learning and applying the fundamentals of wrestling learned here at the Cool Sunshine Wrestling Commuter Camp under the direction of Adams State College head coach Jason Ramstetter. Ramstetter, assistant Rob Odell and the camp staff, which includes several Grizzly wrestlers, are teaching the youngsters the fundamentals for a lifetime of grappling.
"I'm very happy with the turnout," Ramstetter said. "We ended up way bigger than in the past year. It looks like it's growing and I'm very pleased with the local interest in wrestling. In the past we've right around 25 kids come to our camp and this year we're right at 50."
"The majority of the kids participating are local. We had a few kids traveling from a long ways away, but the connection there usually was because a cousin was coming or something of that nature. It's not an overnight camp and we usually don't get kids from too far away."
This year's camp features ASC NCAA All-Americans Evan Copeland, Brian Pitts and Raymond Dunning. Also helping out are Grizzlies wrestling team members Jacob Sheridan, Joey Deaguero and Noomis Jones.
The camp, which features five sessions of premier technique, runs through Wednesday. The Cool Sunshine Wrestling Team Camp that runs from June 11-14 features technique sessions, weight classes, a camp store and ASC wrestling team members to coach teams in dual competitions.
"We're looking at about the same amount of teams," Ramstetter noted. "Last year we had a lot of nationally ranked teams and some of them will not be able to make it this year due to changes. We do still have a team from California coming,"
