Dear Parents & Coaches,
Now that we have our 2015 Ohio All-Star Wrestling team roster set (see below), we are looking at naming several wrestlers early, to both the 2016 & 2017 teams. While final rosters would not be set until October of the preceding year, we do hope to name about seven wrestlers to the 2016 team and five wrestlers to the 2017 team, by December 31, 2015.
Wrestlers applying, need to be in the 6th thru 9th grade year, during the school year preceding the summer they wish to apply, have an estimated summer weight of 68-155 pounds, and have a 2.5 or better (B-/C+) grade point average.
Those selected early also need to understand that their selection will be reviewed each year and that failure to maintain good grades and proper behavior on and off the mat, could result in the forfeiture of their spot.
Already, we have received applications of wrestlers from 11 states for consideration. Amongst these are several State and National Champions.
Wrestlers selected early would be invited to attend the 2015 OASWT Training Camp, as well as participate in future team building events. We feel that their selection will also aid in the process of getting other talented wrestlers to consider and, perhaps, eventually apply for a future Ohio All-Star Team.
As team members are announced, they will be done so on our Team Facebook pages:

2017 OASWT:

If you wish to have an application e-mailed to you, or if have any questions, or concerns, please let me know and I will do my best to answer them.
Yours in Wrestling,
Bart Freidenberg
