Travel: Travel is up to the athlete and the athlete’s family. Some families choose to fly while others prefer driving. If the athlete is travelling and staying by themself travel plans can be organized just text, email, or call and we can arrange a carpool or travel plans of some sort. 

Lodging: In the past several families have rented houses and stayed together which is much cheaper than renting a hotel room. This is what we recommend, we will rent a team house and split the costs between each team member, if athletes are going down with their families, they are more than welcome to stay with them or stay with the team.


Tournament Pricing

Each team must pay an entry fee of $800 which breaks down to about $57 per wrestler.

We will be creating some team gear for the Tournament; this will serve as the East Side Wrestling Club gear for the off season training for the spring/summer of 2026.

Coach Foad is currently in the process of receiving quotes from multiple suppliers to determine team gear for the club. Team gear will likely include a T-Shirt and Singlet.
