This is the fourth year in a row that Rochester has hosted the U.S. Beach Nationals and World Team Trials, and the event has grown each of the previous seasons. In 2009, a record 125 participants entered the U.S. Beach Nationals in Rochester. A large turnout is expected this year, especially with the new date of the competition.

The great part about the Beach Nationals is that wrestlers can get a quality competition and enjoy a fun day at the beach with family and friends. This is why Beach Wrestling continues to grow around the country.

Held alongside the 2010 U.S. Beach Nationals and World Team Trials will be a number of other exciting sports events at the beach, including beach volleyball, adult kickball, pickleball and other entertainment. In addition, the Rochester Red Wings, the Triple A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, will host games on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.

Beach Wrestling was added as a new style of international wrestling, starting in 2005. Athletes compete on sand, in a style that features takedowns within a ring.
