Charles wrestled at USC from 1991-94. He was the school’s first NCAA Division II national champion when he won the crown at 150 pounds in 1992. Charles also was a three-time All-American at USC in 1991, ’92 and ’94 and an academic All-American in 1994.

Walk ups will be welcome at the clinic as long as there is still room for the clinic sessions, but it’s highly recommended that you go to www.pikespeakwrestling.com and sign up for the kickoff clinic in your area (Denver or Colorado Springs) to ensure your child has a spot at the clinic.

If your child is a member of a wrestling club within the Pikes Peak Wrestling League (PPWL), prior to attending any tournaments (excluding the above kickoff clinic) we will need you to sign a parent code of conduct form, and if you do not have a USA membership, you’ll need to purchase that as well, and both are available on the PPWL website and listed on the home page and under events.  If you have questions on that you can follow up with your club’s coach initially or via the contact form on the www.pikespeakwrestling.com website.
