NWWC

Join The Club: Postseason 2024
Join NWWC for the 2024 Postseason Session and join a tradition of developing life-long champions through self-discipline, self-direction, leadership, sportsmanship, mental toughness, hard work and ferocious competition. The 2024 NWWC Postseason Session will begin Monday, May 13th. Postseason will consist of thirteen practices over seven weeks for the NWWC Takedown Team (all ages), twenty practices over seven weeks for the NWWC Kids National Team (8U-14U) and 26 practices over nine weeks for the NWWC 16U & Junior National Team. The focus of Postseason is to keep our wrestlers sharp on their feet (Takedown Team) and to prepare our National Team athletes for USAW National Duals and the USAW Freestyle & Greco-Roman National Championships (see USAW website for details). All practices are taught in series and the pace of practice is determined by the top third in the room. See below for practice details, registration info and costs. Welcome to Postseason!

A USAW membership provides secondary insurance coverage and is purchased by credit card through the USA Wrestling membership website. A USAW membership is effective from Sept 1st to Aug 31st.

WHAT TO BRING

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 the fall and winter 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. 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.
