Tournaments – During the season there are various tournaments held throughout the region every Sunday.   As a club, we participate in many of the tournaments that take place in our region.  While you can attend any tournament you wish, it is recommended that you attend a minimum of two tournaments per month.  The typical tournament requires your child to be present in the morning for weigh ins and wrestling will begin mid-morning with all matches concluding in the afternoon.  The brackets are all broken down based on age and weight of the participating wrestlers. Most of our area tournaments will have hundreds of participants which allows them to ensure that all wrestlers in one bracket are very similar in weight and are guaranteed to be of the same age group.

What to Expect at Tournaments

 If and how many tournaments your child wrestles will be determined by you the Parent. Win or lose, your reaction is the most important factor in how your child will react. Losing a wrestling match for a young child can be more traumatic than a loss in a team oriented sport. If your child knows that regardless of the results you are proud of him/her for simply having the courage to compete and you focus on the positives it will make the tournament experience more rewarding.  Make sure your expectations are realistic and remember they are kids!
