Tournaments During the Offseason?

Recommended Posts

Border Wars at Conner March 24th is a great tournament.  Many top level wrestlers attend.  If your looking for matches there are tournaments in Indiana every weekend through April.  Go to ISWA.com to get tournament details.  :-D

Union and Ryle host a Dan Gable Tournament.

Last year's Gable Tournament at Union had some pretty amazing competition from Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, and I think two other states, plus the boys from around Kentucky. I suggest to all for some great out-of-state competition, and a well-ran tournament, head down to Union. Only a three hour drive from Louisville.

Yeah, but its wrestling all the same kids you wrestle during the season. The Union tournament was the best one I went to because I wrestled kids I never wrestled before and never will again. Plus, you see different styles of wrestling from other states and it'll help prepare you for during the season.

The Union Tournament is March 17th on a saturday. It features teams from West Kentucky, Southern Indiana (Mater Dei, Reitz, Memorial), Woodford brought a few last year, I know Harrison Courtney was there, Illinois elite teams such as Purler Wrestling Academy, St. Louis Missouri teams, Memphis and Nashville Tennessee teams, and throughout the state of Kentucky. It is a USA wrestling tournament so you will need your wrestling card. Well ran with medals in all weight divisions and age groups. Lots of great competition.

Two-thumbs up. Either this or the competition at Jeff Jordan was the best.

I agree, Jeff Jordan's State Champ Camp is awesome. 5 days of intense drilling and every night is a 2 hour session of straight live wrestling. It will get kids mentally ready for wrestling in the upcoming season and offseason events.

What would be the admission fees?  Membership cards plus tournament entry fees I would assume but are they different sanctions?  I think USA Wrestling is $25 for card plus entry fee.  What about AAU?

AAU memberships are $12.  and then entry fees may vary from $8 to $12. for different tournaments.  The membership fee is only a one time thing.  It is good for 1 year.

You can go online to apply for your membership at:

http://aausports.org/default.asp?a=pg_membership.htm

Or you can get the membership at the first tournament you wrestle at.
