Elementary Novice Duals (date tbd). This tournament is intended for “rookie” and less experienced wrestlers from the same club in grades K-5 who haven't wrestled in many, if any, duals before. Our goal is to expose less experienced wrestlers to the excitement of a dual format. Therefore a team’s primary goal isn’t to win the dual meet but rather obtain quality, exciting matches for the wrestlers. Coaches are expected to coordinate in advance to match up comparable opponents. There are no trophies, just an exciting experience. Teams should expect 3-4 dual meets and fees of $299. Exhibition bouts will not take place at this event.

Middle School Team Duals (date tbd). This tournament is for teams of wrestlers who attend the same middle school (two schools maximum are allowed to combine to form a team. Weight classes may be modified/reduced to make it easier to fill teams. There are no trophies. Teams should expect 3-4 dual meets and fees of $349. Exhibition bouts will not take place at this event.
