MSWA Future Championships

The MSWA Future Championships is a program only for those wrestlers that have attended two (2) Future Champions Tournaments during the 2023 - 2024 season.

***Note regarding Future Champion wrestlers, once a wrestler qualifies for the MSWA Youth State Tournament, wrestlers are no longer eligible to compete in the Future Champion Series (which is designed for beginner and experienced wrestlers only).  Wrestlers are considered advanced once they qualify for the MSWA Youth State Tournament.

***Note please make sure that you check your League Schedules prior to registering for an event. If you register for an event but cannot attend, transfers, credits, or refunds will not be issued.

***Be sure that you are registering for the right event.  Some Future Champions events are held the same weekend - but on a different day and at the same location as a qualifier for the Youth State Tournament.
