USA Wrestling Membership Requirement:
Darkhorse Grapplers Wrestling is a USA Wrestling Chartered Club. This means all participants are required to have an active USA Wrestling Athlete Membership ($20) to attend practices. This membership not only helps protect our club and its athletes but also includes essential insurance coverage for both liability and secondary medical expenses.
You will need to purchase the 'Limited Folkstyle Athlete Membership' for $20 in order for your athlete to attend practices. Additionally, all tournaments during the season will be sanctioned by USA Wrestling, so this membership is also required for your athlete to compete in local tournaments.
Follow the steps below to purchase a USA Wrestling membership for your athlete:
Go to https://www.usawmembership.com
Create a free account (you will create an account under the parent's name and then create profiles for your wrestlers).
Go to 'Manage' then 'Profiles'
If your wrestler has not had a USA membership before you will create a new profile.
If they've had a USA membership before then you will "claim" your wrestler's USA profile.
You will create or claim a profile for all your wrestlers and have them under your account.
After you create or claim all your profiles go to "memberships" to purchase your USA Athlete Membership.
