Has the KY wrestling association, clubs/organizations, or promoters of the sport considered joining NUWAY to give kids a spring/summer outlet to not only keep perfecting their craft, but also put KY wrestlers on a national stage.  I'm asking because I was looking for tournaments for my nephew to get in this off-season and came across my home state of Ohio's WAY page and was impressed by all the opportunities for youth/HS wrestlers.

Here's NUWAY's link:  http://www.nuwaywrestling.com/page/show/1197331-national-united-wrestling-association-for-youth

Here's Ohio's WAY page: http://www.ohiowaywrestling.com/

I'd love to see even more opportunities open up for not just my nephew, but all of the quality kids I got to see wrestle at the KY middle school state tournament yesterday.

Are there opportunities in KY I may be overlooking to recommend to my nephew to keep improving his technique in the off-season?

Kentucky goes through USA Wrestling rather than NUWAY

Any events scheduled through KY USA other than the spring tournament at John Hardin?

Thanks for the information!!! What are the qualification requirements for 6th grader to make the national folkstyle and/or dual team? Same question for team KY? 

You should check with Jon Carr for those question. [email protected]
