This is a USA Wrestling sanctioned event. However, all participants will receive a USA Wrestling membership free of charge, which covers the entire 2021-22 membership year (Sept. 1, 2021-August 30, 2022). This membership will allow each of these wrestlers to enter the New York State Girls Folkstyle Wrestling Championships and later other USA Wrestling-sanctioned competitions for the rest of the membership year.
All coaches will also be provided with a USA Wrestling Leader membership.
This tournament has been created to give New York high school girls a season-ending state championship. The goal of those partnering on this event is to continue to work towards getting girls wrestling added as a sanctioned high school sport by the NYSPHSAA in the near future.
