What benefit is there for kids to drive up to Camp Verde? This is the place for quality mat time during the off season. Weekend Wars attracts many serious contenders from throughout Arizona and from out of state. Anybody that’s a serious wrestler practices and participates in off-season mat-time as preparation for the Winter season. Each wrestler who attends is given the opportunity to wrestle up to ten matches. This is a big draw for other teams statewide, as well as teams from out of state, who face the same dilemma, which is the lack of wrestling competition. Nonstop grappling takes place on seven mats and by the end of the day there is an abundance of mat burns, a few bloody noses, but a wealth of wrestling experience for each athlete that makes the trip to Camp Verde.

Many kids perform hours of practice throughout the week in preparation to attend New Breeds, “Weekend Wars” tournaments. Their reward is to do battle with another dedicated young champion, pushing each other to even greater heights. Kids that wish to move up another level in their wrestling skills, can ask any coach for technical advice. I guarantee before the day is over, if you wrestled against the best, they will have helped you expose the weaknesses you must work on. Many coaches and parents come together to create a motivational environment most conducive to the wrestlers success. We measure and motivate them; and so they leave here highly inspired with an attitude to excel.

Wrestlers who do not participate in our Weekend Wars, lose valuable mat time, opportunities for receiving critical technical advice, and miss out coming together with individuals from various styles of wrestling quality levels. All of this free of charge! All we want is mat time for all kids. I highly recommend it to anyone that wishes to move up another level in their wrestling skills. Weigh-in starts at 7:00AM. Folkstyle Wrestling starts at 8:00 AM (three one minute periods) and usually finishes by noon. We would like parents and coaches to ensure that all your kids sign a waiver (see attached). You must bring a waiver every week. For those of you who have been asking how they can help support these weekend wars, I could really use help with refereeing and a case of water bottles. Once again thanks to all the Coaches and Parents who support this function. Many kids thanked us for putting on Weekend Wars for them. Many kids are benefiting from all our collaborative efforts as a brotherhood.

Wrestlers- Three one minute periods of Folkstyle competition. Kindergarten thru high school. Tons of kids show up in every weight class. No lifting in the air. All wrestlers should bring their own white athletic tape and wrestling shoes. (singlet’s and head gear are optional) You must sign the attached release form. Weigh-ins start at 7:00 AM and wrestling commences at 8:00 AM. Please don’t be late as this only holds up everything.

Just a reminder, please have your wrestlers bring their own, white tape, nose plugs, band aids and med kit. I cannot afford to supply all of Arizona's medical needs. Contrary to rumors circulating. I did not receive a "Stimulus" package from Obama.

If you are using Map Quest, use 321 W Apache Trail, Camp Verde AZ 86322 as your destination.


Thank you Coach Chagolla

Due to circumstances out of my control the wrestling room where Weekend Wars was to be held will be closed during the weekend of March 17th. It should be reopened after our Spring break. It should be opened and ready to use for Weekend Wars on March 31st.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sorry that i took so long to get back to you but unfortunately we had to cancel Weekend wars until May 26th. We waited until the last minute for approval to open the room up but we won't hear back until next week. I apologize for any inconvenience we have caused you.

Please pray for The Allsup family. Our Brother Coach Arcel Allsup passed away May 10th. His family has set up a go fund me account on their face book. Kambrah Allsup. They can use any help you can provide.
Arcel was born on April 29, 1983 and passed away on Thursday, May 10, 2018.

Arcel was a resident of Willcox, Arizona.
I’ve had the pleasure of spending time having conversations throughout the years with my Brother Allsup. He talked with endless pride about his children and Kambrah his wife, of many years.

Spending time with his family and helping his community was amongst his deepest passions. He left a huge impact in my life and epitomized everything about a good Father, a good son, a good brother and a good husband.
