Purchasing Membership Cards

All youth wrestlers in Utah must purchase a Wrestling Membership Card in order to participate in most of the tournaments we go to. This is brand new this year. The biggest upside for you new to the sport (and for the old pros) is that when we get to the tournament sites the brackets and mat assignments will already be prepared. If you have any questions, please call me at 435-760-3779

Go to the following site to purchase the card:

http://www.wrestleutah.com

From the middle of the menu at the top of the site select "Memberships" drop down menu

Select either the Utah Folkstyle Athlete Membership (League Card) or the Full Athlete USA Membership

• If you select the League Card, it will take you to a page that explains all the benefits to your wrestler for the $15.00. The League Card can only be used in the local Utah Folkstyle League. The League card is great for beginners and can always be upgraded later if needed.
• If you select the Full Membership Card, it will take you to a page that explains all the benefits your wrestler receives for the $40.00. This is a national card that is good for all local, state and national folkstyle, freestyle, and greco roman wrestling.

On either benefit explanation page, click on "Click here to purchase" (it is in blue).

You will be taken to the USA wrestling membership page: http://www.usawmembership.com/

They will start wrestling at 6:00. 7th and 8th graders can weigh in until 6:30 and will start wrestling about 6:45.

Little League Wrestling at Sky View on Nov. 5

For all of you wrestlers K - 5th grades: Here is the information I received from the Sky View coach on the Little League wrestling on Nov. 5 at Sky View High School:

We will be having the Little League tournament here in the big gym at Sky View on Sat Nov 5th.  Weigh in your wrestlers ahead of time although there will be a scale open at 8:15 for those who don't. We will start K-2 at 9:00 and go three rounds. Grades 3-5 will start after approximately 10:30 and go three rounds as well.

    

Please have your wrestlers and parents enter through the south-west entrance and NOT the Rec Center.

Junior High Practices

Middle School (4th - 6th Grades) and Junior High (7th, 8th, and some 9th) practices are on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the MC wrestling room. Currently the practices are 6:00 - 7:30. I know that a lot of you are worried about scouts on Tuesday nights. When the Little League Wrestling finishes, we will move the practice time to 5:15 to 6:45. The new practice times will start the week of Nov. 21. Hopefully this will you wrestler to get more practice time on Tuesdays.
