USA Wrestling Information

USA Wrestling is the national governing body for wrestling. They offer national level folkstyle, freestyle, and greco events throughout the year as well as provide training for coaches. 

USAW memberships are required for those that want to compete in any national level folkstyle event, as well as any freestyle or greco event (state and local levels) in the spring. They also provide secondary insurance that cover practices and tournaments. 

The USAW membership year spans Sept 1- Aug 31. As usual, we will charter a club through the high school to provide a reduced cost to you over buying it individually ($55). If you were in the program last year and received a USAW card, you do not need to do anything. Just bring $15 cash or check. (Checks made out to TCHS ABC- Wrestling) 

If you are new this year, go to https://www.usawmembership.com/register 

Create a free account. Make sure the email address and password is something you will remember because we will renew this each year. 

Click on Step 1: Profiles 

If you have had a USAW membership previously, you can claim your previous profile. If you have not, click “Start Creating a Profile”. Fill out the information and then create the profile. 

Under manage profile, click add club affiliation(s). Use the USAW org ID: 2509001 to affiliate with Timber Creek High School wrestling. (I cannot purchase the card until you (the wrestler) are affiliated with the school. 

Please note any wrestler 17 or older by Sept. 1 will also need to complete SafeSport training before they can receive their USAW card. SafeSport is a free online training and is linked to the USAW account. Please make sure if you need to complete this training, you can access your USAW account. SafeSport must be renewed annually so if you were one that did it last year, there is another course to complete this year as well. If you have any questions about this, please let me know!
