CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Illinois wrestling assistant coach and three-time All-American Mike Poeta will be the featured speaker at a coaches clinic at Lyons Township High School in LaGrange, Ill., on Sunday, Sept. 27. Registration will be from 1-2 p.m., with the clinic running from 2-3:30 p.m. The clinic will be followed by a demonstration by the Illinois wrestling team from 3:30-5 p.m.
"This is a great opportunity for us to improve our relations with many of the coaches in the Chicago area without asking them to come to Champaign," Illinois head coach Jim Heffernan said. "It's also something we plan to do more of in the future."
The cost for the clinic is $20 and is open to coaches of all levels, while the demonstration by the Illini wrestlers is $10 and is open to coaches and wrestlers of all levels. Registration can be done online at http://www.fightingillini.com/camps or at Lyons Township High School on the day of the clinic.
