Michigan Men's and Women's Club Wrestling

Welcome to the Michigan Club Wrestling Website!

We, the officers of the Michigan Club Wrestling team, are glad you found our site! We would love to help and have you join our club, so we have compiled answers to some of our most common questions below. 

FAQ

What is the Michigan Men's and Women's Club Wrestling Team? 

The Michigan Men's and Women's Club Wrestling Team is a student-led organization dedicated to providing students an opportunity to wrestle at the collegiate level. Our members are composed of wrestlers of wrestlers with experience ranging from years of experience to just starting, so we welcome everyone; veterans, beginners, and anything in between. We compete under the NCWA and have competitions in Michigan and the surrounding states. Our season concludes at the NCWA National Tournament in mid-March. 


Do I have to Compete? Do I have to attend a certain amount of practices? 

If you do not wish to compete you do not need to and we do not require attendance at practices for those who have paid club fees. We understand that members have many different reasons for joining the club and are also very busy at times, so after club dues are paid you can show up to as many or as few practices and competitions* as they'd like. 

*See "What are the costs?" for more information. 


Is there a Women's Team? 

Yes, we are a co-ed club! During the 2021-22 season, we had Michigan's first competitive women's team, as well as our first two women's national qualifiers! This year we are having open mat practices specific to the women's team on Tuesdays for the month of September from 9/5 to 9/26. All open mat practices are held at the Bahna Wrestling Center marked on the map below. We're looking forward to growing the women's side of the team this year! 


When/Where is Practice? 

We have the honor of using the same practice space as Michigan's NCAA D1 team at Bahna Wrestling Center, which is one of the nicest wrestling facilities in the nation. The facility, shown on the map below, is located on south campus in the Ross Athletic Campus. During the season (October to March), we have practice Monday-Thursday from 6:30 pm-8:30 pm starting October 2nd. During September we have open mat practices on Monday and Thursday from 6:30-8:30 p.m. starting Thursday, August 31st. Anyone interested in joining the club may show up to the open mat practices without any prior paperwork or forms filled out. During any other point in the year, wrestlers must go to our Maize Page and fill out our Participation Agreement under "forms". You must be signed in to your umich account to see this.

Do I have to join by a certain date? 

**WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ANY NEW MEMBERS AT THIS POINT IN THE 23-24 SCHOOL YEAR. We will see you all in next fall! Go Blue!


Nope! We don't do tryouts and most of our competitions are individual tournaments, so we will happily accept new members at any point in the year. Additionally, we really want to make sure we are as accessible as possible, so you can test things out with a few free practices before deciding whether or not to become a member. Please reach out to the club if you think you might be interested.


What are the costs? 

We have two types of dues depending on your level of participation, and each tier will cover both semesters:

Note: We also have payment plans, scholarships, etc. for those that need financial help. We want to make sure everyone gets a chance to wrestle.
