We are allowed 2 JV wrestlers and 1 varsity wrestler per weight class.

As a chartered USA club, we have the opportunity to compete in various individual tournaments throughout the season. Individual tournaments generally start in January and continue until the ISWA State Champisonship. There are two tournaments in Columbus as well as in surrounding towns. Beginners tournaments are available for wresters with 0-2 years experience. Families are able to go to as many or as few tournaments according to their personal schedule. Also, it is possible for a wrestler to only continue training and not compete. This second session is an additional $60.
