All members who have renewed their USA Wrestling membership before the following dates will be eligible to win these outstanding prizes in an exciting new program:

- March 22, 2010 - Experience of a Lifetime with the U.S. Freestyle Team
- April 5, 2010 - Two All-Access passes for the U.S. Open
- April 12, 2010 - Private camp with a two-time Olympian Jim Gruenwald
- April 26, 2010 - Two All-Access passes for the World Team Trials

Prizes already awarded this season include: Asics Ultratek wrestling shoes, USA Wrestling socks, two tickets to the NCAA Division I Championships in Omaha, Neb., and a Dremiel Byers autographed singlet. These prizes are the first of many that will be awarded to lucky USA Wrestling members in the 2009-10 season. 

"This is another way for USA Wrestling to give back its members," said Tony Black, Manager of State Services for USA Wrestling. "We have an advantage in our relationships with wrestlers, coaches, and wrestling companies, so we will strive to connect them with our members in a unique way. We are excited about this program, as some of the future prizes are going to be great experiences for the winners."

The winner of the Experience of a Lifetime drawing will be part of the World Team Training Camp with the U.S. National Freestyle Team in August, 2010. This training camp will take place at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, in Colorado Springs, Colo., home to many of our nation's finest athletes. The winner will receive airfare for two, transportation to and from the OTC, and will take part of all National Team activities during their stay.

One member will be part of the U.S. Open in Cleveland, Ohio on April 23-24, 2010 and the World Team Trials in Council Bluffs, Iowa on June 10, 2010 in a way never seen before! The winner of these drawings will receive two All-Access passes for either the U.S. Open or the World Team Trials. Behind-the-scenes access at these tournaments will allow the lucky winners opportunities to meet our National Team coaches and athletes during the finals, as well as get an inside glimpse of how the event is conducted. This will include set-up, hospitality and media opportunities. 

The recipient of the private camp reward will win a one-day wrestling clinic courtesy of two-time Olympian Jim Gruenwald. Gruenwald, one of the most respected wrestlers and clinicians in the nation, will come to your town to do a free clinic. 

With the potential for more giveaways for members in the future, USA Wrestling will continue to show appreciation for its members!

Reminder emails will be going out to former members who have yet to renew their membership for 2009-2010. All current members of USA Wrestling are automatically entered in the drawings.
