WWS is a series of youth tournaments that occur over the winter season. For many, WWS is essentially the "league" they compete in on a regular basis during the winter months. Others attend select tournaments on a case-by-case basis.
In general, athletes are K-8 graders (although we sometimes accept 9th graders who are not part of high school programs). Except in rare occasions, wrestlers compete against opponents of similar age, weight, and experience level. WWS participants are primarily novice and intermediate levels, with an increasing number of advanced wrestlers.
The 2018-2019 season is completed, and we are currently putting together the schedule for next year. It will include more events, and new options to meet the needs of most wrestlers. If you're involved with running a youth club, please consider WWS as your main competition league for next season. Our goal is for WWS to be the best league in the country!

WHY WWS IS THE BEST YOUTH WRESTLING EXPERIENCE AROUND....
In addition to unique themes, WWS may be the most innovative league in the nation for numerous reasons. Here are some of the features of WWS:
* Unique “Time Slot” format allowing wrestlers to obtain 3 matches in roughly 90 minutes (while also arriving close to the start time)---all bouts are arranged in advanced and technology is used to enhance show-up rates; Nobody respects busy families’ valuable weekend time like WWS---we almost always get families in and out quickly!
* Different themes each week to educate and expose the wrestlers to different formats (and to prevent burnout and boredom).
* Ability to register for as few or as many tournaments as you want (it's not a standard league with a fee for the season; you can sign up for individual tourneys or get a Season Pass)
* Full circled mats and digital scoreboards for every match
* Minimal volunteer assistance required
* Different (and nice!) awards at every tournament (e.g., trophies, medals, ribbons)
* “This Week in Wrestling” presentations and Trivia Contests to help kids/families fall in love with our great sport
* the premier independent wrestling facility in the nation
We are thrilled that several new clubs became regular participants this season, and we look forward to doubling in size again next year.
