Fall Folkstyle Series Is Underway!
NCUSA kicked of the 2012 Fall Folkstyle Series at RS Central this weekend with a great day of wrestling. State qualifiers and those hoping to join them in Greensboro in February were EVERYWHERE Saturday! I can personally say that every wrestler from our club who attended the tournament got at least three matches. It was a great way to kick off the pre-season!
These tournaments feature $5 entry fees, Madison Weights, and Round Robin Brackets to ensure as much pre-season wrestling as possible! Plenty of exhibition matches were also wrestled. The next event in the series is this Saturday at McDowell HS in Marion, NC. To Enter, simply e-mail Coach Leight with wrestlers name, age, current grade in school, and approximate weight. Walk-ins on Saturday are also welcome. Please purchase USA memberships and have them with you when you come.
Visit our calendar for info on these events as well as other pre-season wrestling opportunities.
We've also worked out agreements with several other events to offer NCUSA members discounted entry fees. Visit our calendar for info on these events.
