AGES: 6-14 (K-8th grade)

DIVISIONS/WEIGHT CLASSES: Novice and Experienced divisions. We will be using the Madison system for weight classes. Ages are current ages as of date of tournament. Age groups may be combined depending on numbers. You can choose to wrestle up to a higher age group if you want.

**A novice wrestler is any wrestler who is in their first 3 years of wrestling and has “limited experience.” Anyone 6 and under will automatically be considered a novice wrestler. However, they can choose to enter the Experienced division instead.

**An experienced wrestler should be considered any wrestler who has wrestled for more than 3 years and has seen some success (placing/winning tournaments, etc).
