To all members,
The time has come and we will be at Desert Vista HS for STATE FREESTYLE, on Friday-Saturday May 17-18th, the cost of the tournament will be $25. We had a great turnout at Chandler HS for State Greco. Notice the times changes below. Please be on time as we will not be extending registration times, so we can get started on time or as close to the projected times as possible. We will also only be weighing those age groups at the designated times. ALSO make sure you have uploaded photos to your USA Wrestling Porfile to help with registration and future events.
**Some important information for the Freestyle State Tournament**
We will be running the 6U, 8U and 10U on Friday night May 17th, and the 12U, 14U, 16U, USA Juniors, and Open on Saturday May 18th. Below you will find Registration, Weigh-in and Tentative Start Times for those age groups.
NO DOUBLE BRACKETING will be allowed for the State Tournament.
If girls would like to wrestle we will be using Madison Bracketing for any girls that wish to wrestle but they will not receive state tournament medals.
