Helpful tips for Beginners

How to register for a tournament:

When registering for any tournament, you go to the www.teamgeorgiawrestling.com. Go to the upper left corner, click " Folk-style." Then on the right hand side, click on "register for a tournament." This page will allow you to register for a tournament, print your e-ticket to take to weigh ins, and print your bracket the day before. If you click on "tournament fliers" you will find future tournaments and be able to register. Remember that at weigh ins, you will need the e-ticket, which also has a copy of your USA wrestling card. Make sure that you have your son weigh in on the scales outside to make sure that he is not over his weight. Sometimes, a trip to the restroom is in order! Once inside, they can not do anything about it. Also, make sure that their fingernails are cut.

Duals and tournaments:

All tournaments and duals usually have a gate fee, including ours. It usually ranges around $5.00 a person, $3.00 for children and several offer a family rate of $7.00- $10.00. There are no weigh ins for duals. They are based on approximate size, weight and experience of your child. Sometimes they may not get a match. It is all based on the children in the other school's junior program.

Beginners tournaments:

Almost all beginner tournaments are on Sundays. You will need to register your child using the directions above. They are not usually added to the calendar, but will be listed in the www.teamgeorgiawrestling.com website. Sometimes the coaches will be there. Feel free to check with them during practice to find out their schedules.
