USA Wrestling is proud to announce the 2010-2011 Folkstyle Tour of America schedule. The fourth season of this popular folkstyle series features three returning events – the Salt Lake Slam, the Georgia Grind, and Dominate in the Dells – as well as the inaugural Northwest Bigfoot Battle.
The Folkstyle Tour of America provides wrestlers and families with a national quality event at a local level. Age divisions contested at all four events include Bantam, Intermediate, and Novice.
Some of the events have additional age divisions. The Northwest Bigfoot Battle, Salt Lake Slam, and Georgia Grind will also feature a Middle School division. Pee Wee wrestlers can compete in the Georgia Grind and Dominate in the Dells. Additionally, Schoolboy, Cadet, and Junior divisions will be part of Dominate in the Dells.
The Northwest Bigfoot Battle and the Salt Lake Slam also offer "True Beginner" divisions, which allow wrestlers new to the sport to compete against other wrestlers with similar experience levels. True beginners are defined as having actively competed in the sport of wrestling for less than two years.
Tour sponsor All-American Wrestling Supply is pleased to announce the Coaches Rewards program. A team or club with five to nine wrestlers will receive a $10 gift card to All-American Wrestling Supply. Each additional increment of five participants will earn the team a $10 greater gift card. The more you bring, the more you earn!
