TOP is pleased to offer the nation’s first and only All-Girls Wrestling League, beginning in the fall of 2022. Since we expect large numbers of new wrestlers, this league will emphasize community, love of sport, and development more than competition. Based on successful event formats utilized in our popular Winter Wrestling Series (WWS), we have put together an approach that allows all interested girls to participate this fall, whether or not they practice regularly with a local club or play other sports. Events will be held at venues in Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. (exact locations tbd).
To help ensure a thriving league, TOP will also spearhead efforts to help local clubs significantly increase female participation in their programs. This will be accomplished by sharing best practices and encouraging the formation of girls-only teams, when possible. Even if girls must participate in coed practices, our new league and more marketing to increase numbers should allow them to avoid wrestling boys (if they so choose).
HOW TO REGISTER
In the near future, we will open registration for the Girls Wrestling League. Similar to our youth coed league in the winter (WWS), we will offer Season Passes that can be purchased by any girl wishing to participate. In addition, many clubs will choose to purchase these Passes for their members (i.e., individuals will not buy Season Passes, but rather the clubs will pay directly for the Passes). When registration opens, these options will be clearly spelled out on this site.
DRAFT SCHEDULE
Here is the tentative schedule for the Fall 2022 season:
