Right now we have about 250 kids registered or committed to attend our tournament. Alot of clubs I have spoken with have told me that the tournament is too early in the season or they would attend. Just keep in mind this is a novice tournament and I believe the best way for a novice wrestler to catch on and use what they are being taught at practice is to get some mat time.
Example: We had an after school clinic last spring and had 40 kids who had never wrestled before attend, there was a small one match tournament on the Saturday following the clinic and you would be amazed at how much the kids learned in just 5 short days.
