TOURNAMENTS
NWWC is a sanctioned member of USA Wrestling and one of many local USAW clubs that compete at youth wrestling tournaments nearly every weekend throughout a normal season. Tournaments vary in location (usually along the I-5 corridor) and all kids, all ages have the opportunity to compete each weekend and take home a medal, trophy or belt. All NWWC wrestlers are encouraged to compete at tournaments. *Parents are responsible for pre-registering their wrestler(s) for tournaments through www.trackwrestling.com or www.USAbracketing.com. Entering a tournament by pre-registration is usually less-expensive than registering on-site, and some tournaments are pre-registration only (ex: Washington State Wrestling Championships). For more information on what to expect at youth wrestling tournaments, see the About Tournaments section. For a list of upcoming tournaments, please see the Tournament Schedule section.
