The Ohio Grapplers are excited to announce that the 2014 Ohio Novice State Tournament will be January 26, 2014. The goal of this tournament is to give the less experienced wrestlers an opportunity to compete with wrestlers of similar experience. We feel that this will in turn lead to more wrestlers sticking with this great sport for the long term.
All tournament registration can be done at
www.TrackWrestling.com. If you or your club would like more information about hosting a Satellite Weigh In please email Amy at OhioNoviceState.com.
