NJWAY Representatives
are a group of coaches from the state of NEW JERSEY. All of these coaches
are in equal partnership with all decision making of this organization.
We welcome and encourage more coaches around the state to get involved
and become NJWAY representative. Our
members are made up of teams from several different leagues, and are
open to all school based, leagues, teams, and individuals from around
the state. NJWAY puts no requirements
on leagues to change how they operate. We are trying to promote
comradeship and pride with the youth wrestlers to wrestle for their
local schools program, to help build their Jr High and High School
programs. We are trying to mirror the High School State System as close
as possible. We are working on several
different formats to bring more opportunities for the kids and the
wrestling community. Series of novice, all-star, team duals, and more. We
understand that a lot of kids wrestle for 2 different teams during the
year. We are working on a county all-star format that matches up the
most experienced groups of kids to compete against each other. We
have assembled several states to wrestle at national tournament with
the qualifiers from each state’s championship tournament to advance to
the NUWAY National Championships in Battle Creek, MI. Last year we had
4 states. This year it has grown to 21 States. We provide primary liability and secondary medical/dental Insurance to clubs, and leagues that need it.
Specific Goals: NJWAY desires to invest in NEW JERSEY
youth wrestling by providing unprecedented opportunities to compete in
centrally located, state of the art facilities, at state and national
levels. Membership fees will be utilized to further NEW JERSEY youth
wrestling at a “grass roots” level; top-notch awards and state of the
art venues will provide unparralled opportunities for our wrestlers. NJWAY encourages and promotes the involvement of all coaches and
clubs. We feel NJWAY is to be run and directed by and from coaches from
all areas of the state. Ultimately, we will develop “school based”
wrestling programs and leagues uniting at a state tournament similar to
the current NEW JERSEY High School state system and other neighboring
youth state programs. We will aid in placing the state of NEW JERSEY at
the pinnacle of the wrestling nation. Membership details: · You must be a NEW JERSEY Resident to wrestle in the Regional Tournament. · Wrestlers 16 years & under (Divisions) as of December 31st of the current season.
