USA Wrestling is regularly publishing a list of sanctioned events as our nation and our sport comes back from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this article, there are 39 tournaments/clinics listed from 22 different states over the next three months. Since our posting on May 18, there are 10 additional events which have been added to the list. The new additions are marked in bold.
The list provides an easy reference for athletes, coaches and families, in order to make plans for competitions moving forward. Not only is USA Wrestling providing events on its national schedule, but many state associations and local clubs are also developing events for athletes of all ages to participate in.
Our list will include events by date, as well as events by state.
New sanctions were added in Colorado, Indiana, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The USA Wrestling Regionals will conclude with the Southern Plains Regionals in Kansas (June 4-6).
The remaining National event schedule includes the U23 Nationals in Lincoln, Neb. (May 27-29), USA Wrestling Kids Nationals in Wisconsin Dells, Wis. (June 24-26) and the USMC Junior and 16U Nationals in Fargo, N.D. (July 16-23).
Included also are the three National Duals: the 14U National Duals in Franklin, Indiana (June 9-13), the 16U National Duals in Westfield, Indiana (June 9-13), the Junior National Duals in Tulsa, Okla. (June 15-19)
This information is also available through USA Wrestling’s membership system, TheMat.com website and on usawevents.com by using the system’s sort capability, but this posting will be an easy-to-use format for you to use in your planning.
Athletes should consider attending events in nearby states, especially if conditions do not allow for competitions in their own state at this time. Contact event directors for more information on the event details and eligibility requirements. Please forward this story to others seeking competitive opportunities.
