USA WRESTLING CARDs

(last updated 09/01/23 @ 12:30PM)

The Calendar Year for USA Wrestling ranges from September 1st to August 31st. So to get the most ROI from your USAW Card investment (approx. $60) you should register for it in the first week of September as you will need it to enter most USAW Event. Certain events though, like BEACH WRESTLING, for a nominal fee you may be able to order a temporary card just for that event, say a Beach Wrestling tournament in June, July, or August.

The current calendar year for USA Wrestling is from 9/1/23 to 8/31/24. Your USAW Cards will allow you to attend and compete in Folkstyle, Freestyle, Greco-Roman and Beach wrestling events. The Summer 2024 schedules are:

IMPORTANT: Youth/HS/Adult wrestlers all need USAW Wrestling Cards to compete in USA Wrestling Tournaments whether it be in Folkstyle, Freestyle, Greco-Roman or Beach Wrestling.

If your youth or you has no desire to compete, do not read further. However, you MUST maintain Private Medical Insurance and email that proof of insurance (for ex. a picture of front and back of your insurance card) to Catherine in Accounting at ocysa.accntng@gmail.com

The general COST of a USA Wrestling Card is approx. $60.00 (varies by Age). This cost seems to go up every year regardless of the economy as USAW always seems to want more money for the same thing.

Please visit: www.oc-grappling.org/forms scroll down to Section 3 and follow the instructions there. This year’s USAW Card starts: 9/1/2023 and expires 8/31/24.

OCG will be running certain promotions where we will cover the expense of a USAW Card for the wrestler, for ex. for OCG Competition Wrestlers who also are PLATINUM CLUB members etc..

Also, if you’re an Adult Wrestler talk to your OCG Coach before ordering your USA Wrestling Card. Getting a card takes about 4 hours online as you will have to also pass the USAW Safe Sport Program. 18+ yr old Adult Wrestlers need to buy their own cards online (see www.oc-grappling.org/forms and scroll down to Section 3).

Orange County Grappling is a USA Wrestling sanctioned club. Our CLUB ID# is 2524601 and we are chartered through CY2023-24 expiring 08/31/2024.
