Testimonials
See what our students, volunteers and parents have to say!
This is a great program! It helped me stay fit during the pandemic, while helping me stay in a wrestling mindset.
Each practice we learned different things while still working hard. The coaches also used games to make exercise more fun!
Thoroughly happy with the camp and program experiences my kids have had through Friends of Bishop Ryan. They are always excited to go, and always come out happy and pumped! It’s fun, yet challenging, and all within a positive, supportive environment. They’ve learned so much, and have gained alot of confidence.
The program helped me to build confidence in my abilities and to form a stronger bond with my teammates.
