Off-Season Tournaments

[olahtoo3]

What are some good off season tournaments that are AAU or USA wrestling sanctioned? I know AAU has the big Tournament of Champions in Ohio, and of course the cadet nationals in Fargo is big.

[garyjkel]

That depends on what age group you want to include. Do you want to know about High School, Middle School, or Kids age groups. There are several national level tournaments with both organizations, depending on age and style of wrestling.

high school, cadet, elite, etc.

That would also depend on which style!!

The grand daddy of all is the Nationals in Fargo for Cadet and Juniors. Must know that the divisions are not the same for AAU and USA.

There are also the Jr. and Cad. national duals which Team Tenn. will represent with a team. The regionals are no slouch, several not to far away either, New Orleans for Jr., Greeneville for Kids and Cad., also one in In. plus southern plains in Ok.

Greg,

Who officiates these events? The first Saturday in March I will be hosting an officiating clinic at Brentwood High School for freestyle and greco. If you need to have officials trained send them along. The cost will likely be $25.00 which is the cost to join USWOA.

Hey Coach Lauderdale, I think what you want him to do is go to seaausports.com, then click on wrestling and then events. That will show you in-state AAU tournaments for High School kids (and younger kids). The AAU Regionals and State Tournament is a good series of tournaments for high school kids. If you go to the TN Wrestling Federation website they have have a pretty complete list of in-state tournaments as well as Freestyle/Greco Roman Regional tournaments.

 

In addition, I would throw in the USA Cadet Folkstyle Nationals in Iowa the first weekend in April, its at the University of Northern Iowa.

 

I know the original post asked for AAU/USA sanctioned events, but you might also want to look at the Jack Roller tournaments, Reno Worlds and the Mid-America Classic in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

 

Each tournament has quality wrestlers there, in most cases it's a matter of the quantity of good wrestlers in a weight class.

who are the coaches for fargo, cadet duals and junior duals this year?
