                                                       Our Vision

Myrmidons is an off-season wrestling club designed to focus on Folkstyle, Freestyle, and Greco Roman
wrestling, advanced through basic instruction/technique, drilling, live wrestling, and conditioning. The
coaches would like to emphasize the importance of this program with our D-East (9th -12th), LMS (6th -
8th), and youth (K - 5th), but we encourage wrestlers from all areas to attend. Myrmidons also builds
camaraderie amongst its members and focuses on the concept of "team" and "strength in numbers."
The best wrestlers participate in year round training and competition. Here is your opportunity to
become more skilled in your sport!  

Myrmidons Wrestling Club began its 11-12 season at the end of March. Joe Horvath, Darrin Cummings,
Billy Heemer, and Kyle Chandler serve as the program coaches. For more information on the coaching

Myrmidons
by J.C. Boyle
Aeacus, king of Aegina and son of Zeus, had no citizens in his kingdom. He prayed to Zeus as he looked at an ant hill,
"Please remember that I am your son, and was made a king of your sacred island that you created to honor my mother
Aegina. When Sisyphus told a river god that you had eloped with her, you turned her into an island. Please Father Zeus,
send me citizens to populate your island and make them skilled in warfare so this island will be protected!"

Then Aeacus went back to his palace. Soon his son Telamon yelled, "Father, Father! There are many people outside
looking for you!" The people were called the Myrmidons after ants (myrmi). Achilles took 50 ships with 50 Myrmidons each
to the Trojan War.
