            Coaching Staff:  Ben Young, Joe Horvath,

                                       Our Vision

   Myrmidons is 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) and LMS athletes (6th - 8th), but we
encourage all to attend.  

 The best wrestlers participate in year round training and competition.
Here is your opportunity to become more skilled in your sport!

       Attention D-East, LMS, and East-Side youth wrestlers:

  The Myrmidons Wrestling Club will begin its 10-11 season on Tuesday, 9/7.

and DWest Thursday  evenings. Myrmidons will be working in tandem with Downingtown
Thunder; head club coaches will be Ben Young and Brad Breese, assistants will be Joe Horvath,
Darrin Cummings, and Kyle Chandler. The club will train in folkstyle during the Fall/Winter and
freestyle/greco during the Spring. The 3 forms needed to register are below.

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.
