7-Week Girls Preseason Prep

Build Your Edge Before the Season Starts.

Wrestling-focused preseason training with strength and conditioning built into every session — led by Coach Amond Prater at A-Train Performance.

7 Mondays
Sept 14–Oct 26
6:00–7:30 PM
A-Train Performance
Wrestling + Strength
Preseason is where the separation starts

Show up to day one ready.

This class is built to help girls enter the season stronger, sharper and already moving like wrestlers — not spending the first few weeks trying to get back in shape.

01 / WRESTLING
Technical reps that matter

Position, movement, attacks, finishes and wrestling-specific skill work — not generic conditioning disguised as practice.

02 / STRENGTH
Get stronger for the mat

Each session includes strength work selected to support better posture, control, explosiveness and durability.

03 / CONDITIONING
Build a match-ready engine

Focused conditioning that fits the demands of wrestling so athletes can keep attacking late.

Train with purpose. Compete with confidence.

The goal is simple: make every Monday useful. Athletes get coaching, physical preparation and wrestling-specific work in one focused session — so they leave better than they came in.

Location: A-Train Performance — 7463 S Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63125 • Mondays • 6:00–7:30 PM • Sept 14–Oct 26 • 7-week preseason block

One focused 90-minute session

No wasted time.

Every minute has a job. Sessions blend wrestling, strength and conditioning instead of treating them like three separate programs.

Technical Focus

Sharpen the wrestling

Position, movement, attacks, finishes and high-quality drilling designed to build reliable skills before the season starts.

Competitive Focus

Learn to compete

Situational wrestling, live work and competitive reps that help athletes make decisions under pressure and build confidence.

Strength + Conditioning Focus

Build the engine

Wrestling-specific strength and conditioning to improve posture, control, explosiveness, durability and late-match output.
