3. Add or Edit Club Affiliation
Make sure your wrestler is affiliated with the correct IKWF club before purchasing the membership.

Important: Once the USA Wrestling membership has been purchased, only IKWF office staff can add or edit a wrestler’s club affiliation. If your child is changing clubs this season, be sure to remove the previous club affiliation before purchasing the membership.

5. Submit Age Verification, If Required
All wrestlers competing in IKWF events must be age verified by the IKWF office. Acceptable documentation includes a birth certificate, passport, or other legal document showing the wrestler’s name and date of birth.

Age verification documents may be emailed to [email protected] or faxed to [phone].

Please be sure to include the name of the IKWF club your child is joining when submitting age verification so the IKWF office can verify that your wrestler is affiliated with the correct club.

Completing these steps early will help ensure your wrestler is properly registered and eligible to compete when the season begins.

🚨PLEASE READ IN COMPLETION🚨
SCHEDULE CHANGES: 🚨GIRLS & BOYS GRECO🚨

🛎️Girls Greco-Roman Schedule Change🛎️

After reviewing final Girls Greco-Roman (GR) numbers post-registration, the vast majority of wrestlers will only have 1–2 matches. Additionally, almost all wrestlers will already be present Saturday for the FS Girls tournament.

As a result, the Girls GR tournament will be moved to Saturday following freestyle. Freestyle is expected to conclude by mid-afternoon, with GR beginning shortly after and running efficiently across all 10 mats.

We apologize for any inconvenience and believe this will create a better overall experience for all participants.

🛎️Boys Greco-Roman Schedule Change🛎️

Due to the explosion in this year's entries, we are making the following schedule changes.

USA Junior - wrestling starts at 8:30 am and goes to approximately 12:00 pm.

16U, 14U, 12U, 10U, 8U - wrestling starts at approximately 12:00 pm and goes to approximately 5:00 pm.
