A Hornell organizer is seeking more registrations for a youth wrestling camp featuring Olympic gold medalist and professional wrestler Kurt Angle on February 6, 2027.
Coach Ridge Events founder Darnell Ridgeway said the planned Hornell High School event needs at least 60 participants registered by December 1 to move forward. As of his October 29 announcement, 25 children were registered.
The camp is intended for ages 6-16, according to the event flyer. Hornell High School is at 134 Seneca Road.
Wrestling stations, photos and autographs
Ridgeway said participants will rotate through wrestling stations led by local coaches and high school wrestlers, with an emphasis on fundamentals, confidence and meeting other young athletes.
Each registered participant is also slated to receive a photo and autograph with Angle, according to the organizer.
The planned camp is part of Coach Ridge's Elite Combine, which brings professional athletes to youth sports events in Hornell and surrounding communities.
Ridgeway said his goal is to give local children opportunities to meet and learn from professional athletes close to home. He supplied photos of previous events along with the wrestling camp announcement.
