High School Team Membership FAQ

 

1. Who is covered under the HS team membership?

A. Only wrestlers in grades 9-12 enrolled at the school and submitted on the team spreadsheet.

 

2. Can I add wrestlers after I purchase the team membership or do they all have to be submitted at the same time?

A. Yes, you can add wrestlers to your team membership during the season before the January 24 deadline. If you have wrestlers who join after that date contact USA Wrestling.

 

3. Are coaches cards (memberships) covered under the team membership?

A. No, coach memberships are not included. However, USAW does not require school coaches working with the chartered HS club team to have memberships to conduct practices. If coaches plan to coach at USAW sanctioned tournaments they would need to first complete a background check and then purchase a USAW membership.

 

4. How can I pay for the team membership?

A. The team pays USA Wrestling directly. The UIL has indicated school or booster club funds should not be used for the payment. Wrestlers should contribute their portion.

 

5. Can I include high school wrestlers from a different school (that may not have a team) who practice with my team?

A. No, only wrestlers enrolled in your school can be included

 

6. Can I include middle school wrestlers from our school attendance zone that practice with our HS?

A. No, only wrestlers in grades 9-12 can be included.

 

7. Do the wrestlers included under my HS team membership have to practice with my school and enter tournaments under our HS name? For example, we do not have a Freestyle club and practices at the school in the spring.

A. No. The wrestlers just get their memberships through the high school team. They can attend club practices with any chartered club.

 

8. Do I have to include all the information requested on the spreadsheet?

A. Yes, for accurate membership and insurance policy requirements all fields must be provided:

 

 First name and Last name

 Gender

 Date of birth

 Address – Street, City, State, Zip

 Phone number

 E-mail address

 

9. I already have a KY-USAW chartered club that I run for youth and/or Freestyle/Greco. Does my HS team charter replace that club?

A. No, your HS team charter only covers HS team and practices. If you are going to run a separate club with wrestlers from other schools, you would still keep a separate charter for that club.

 

10. What are the benefits? Why should my team join?

A. The HS team membership provides an extremely cost effective way for high school wrestlers to continue to receive the benefits of USA Wrestling membership (see flyer). Through their athlete membership, they receive secondary sports accident insurance for all wrestling activities with sanctioned organizations. That includes your high school practices and tournaments. They are also able to participate in all USA Wrestling sanctioned events including the Folkstyle National Championships, a wide range of FS/GR regional and national tournaments, and a full schedule of local KY-USAW sanctioned FS/GR tournaments in your area. Within certain restrictions, they may also participate in KY-USAW sanctioned Folkstyle tournaments during the season.
