Hosting a Minnesota/USA Wrestling Event

We would love to work with you and your upcoming tournament. If you are interested in hosting a tournament that is sanctioned via Minnesota/USA Wrestling, please contact our Open Tournament Director, Ian Glenn.

iglenn@mnusawrestling.org

The approval process is based upon proximity to other events and awarded first to those clubs that have hosted in previous years.  Once approved, we work together on a series of items, such as chartering your club, sanctioning the event, and advertising and promotion of the event.
