WWF Kids Folkstyle State Championships: March 22nd-24th in Madison.
The largest event is the WWF Kids Folkstyle State Championships, which is hosted at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison! We look forward to hosting this event every single year as it provides the opportunity for more than 2,000 youth wrestlers to take the mats and experience a championship environment here in Wisconsin. Kids qualify for the tournament by placing in the top 3 in their weight class and age division at one of eight locations for the Kids State Qualifiers listed above.

Beginners Freestyle and Greco State Championships: April 27th in Mukwonago.
The WWF added a true beginners freestyle and Greco state tournament in 2023 and we are happy to continue growing the event! On April 27th wrestlers will be able to test out the Olympic styles of wrestling against competition with similar experience. This event is for true beginners, and only open to wrestlers who have not competed in the WWF freestyle or Greco state championships in the past. The event lands the weekend before the Wisconsin state tournament so that athletes can join us in the Dells if they enjoyed competing in Freestyle/Greco.
All coaches must have a current USA Wrestling Leaders membership and a minimum copper coaches certification. This includes parents, club coaches, etc. Complete details for this event are posted online here.
Freestyle and Greco State Championships: May 4th-5th in Wisconsin Dells.
The WWF Freestyle and Greco State Championships is the final event of the WWF state series! Freestyle and Greco state is an opportunity for athletes to prove themselves among the best in the Olympic styles here in the state, and serves as part of the team selection process for Team Wisconsin’s National Duals and Fargo teams. After this tournament, Wisconsin comes together to make its strongest united team to represent Team Wisconsin at the national level.
