Classes Breakdown

Ninja Classes

Ages: 5–8 years old / Beginners
Time: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5:30 PM–6:30 PM

These classes are designed to introduce young athletes to the sport of wrestling. We focus on building body awareness, body control, balance, speed, and agility. Our goal is to make growth fun while helping students learn how to follow directions and be coachable.

We offer year-round training that aligns with the different wrestling style seasons.

Gladiator Classes

Ages: 9–14 years old
Time: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30 PM–8:00 PM

These classes are designed for intermediate and experienced wrestlers, though beginners who have outgrown the ninja classes are also welcome. Training often focuses on helping middle school athletes further develop their skills outside of school practices.

Advanced Classes

Ages: High School Wrestlers
Time: Monday–Thursday, 3:00 PM–5:00 PM

These classes are designed for high school wrestlers during the off-season and freestyle season. Training emphasizes freestyle and folkstyle development paired with weight training.

We encourage this age group to travel and compete—both throughout Alaska and across the USA. Each athlete works on their own areas of improvement, with IGA coaches providing personalized guidance and direction.
