Why do I need a USA Wrestling Card?

Every Ringer is required to have a USA Wrestling Competitor’s Membership in order to participate. The membership is also necessary to enter USA Wrestling tournaments, which are an essential part of the Ringers development process.

What does it do for me?

The Competitor’s Membership is valid for kids, cadet, F.I.L.A. Cadet, junior, F.I.L.A. Junior World, university, senior, masters’-level competition at all competition levels, and club practices. To enter an USA Wrestling sanctioned event as a competitor you must have a current competitor’s card. Membership benefits include secondary, non-duplicating sports accident insurance provided by an outside carrier. There is sports accident supplemental benefits provided to USA Wrestling members who participate in limited non-sanctioned events. This insurance coverage includes a deductible, co-payment provisions and other conditions of the policy (details available from Coach Schmitz); a one-year subscription to USA Wrestling; the privilege to compete and take advantage of events, camps, clinics, international exchanges, and club programs; discounts on wrestling gear, equipment and apparel; and other national discount programs as they become available.

How long is it good for?

USA Wrestling Cards expire every year on August 31st. New Cards are available September 1st.
