Giani to Direct Summer Wrestling Camp
Hall of Fame coach Lou Giani will share the secrets of his success at a one-week summer wrestling camp sponsored by the Huntington Booster Club from Monday, July 21 through Friday, July 25 on the sprawling campus of J. Taylor Finley Middle School located on Greenlawn Road in Huntington.
The camp, which is open to students in fifth through ninth grades, has been designed to help wrestlers reach their goals on the mat. Giani and his staff intend to teach participants how to train and how to peak for the so-called “big match.” The camp aims to teach the wrestlers how to become champions in a relaxing and fun-filled atmosphere.
The camp will kick-off each morning at 9:30 with a group session followed by technique presentations from 10:00 to 11:30 and scrimmaging from 11:30 to 1 p.m. A lunch break will run from 1:00 to 1:30 followed by hard wrestling and instruction, as needed, from 1:30 to 3:00. The camp is limited to the first 60 student-athletes who register. All will receive a complimentary tee-shirt.
Tuition for the camp is set at $180. The invited staff includes some of the biggest names in Long Island wrestling history. Giani has been running camps for decades and is a master at working with young wrestlers and being able to quickly focus on their strengths and weaknesses to maximize their potential.
Widely regarded as the greatest wrestling coach in New York State history and one of the best high school coaches in the country, Giani’s credentials are impressive. A Pan Am Games gold medalist and 1960 Olympian, his teams have amassed a record of 436-36-1 with a record 23 individual state champions and nine Suffolk team titles.
