General Information

Registration, cost, schedule and weigh in procedures will be posted as it becomes available. 

These events serve as qualifiers for the WWF Kids Folkstyle State Championships to be held March 28th-30th at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison. In the Boys and Girls Divisions, the TOP THREE place winners in each age and weight class qualify for the State Championships. All qualifiers must make the same weight class at the State Championships that they qualified for at the Qualifier; there is no weight allowance at state.

Wrestlers must be born in the year listed for each age division. Wrestlers in the oldest age group cannot be in 9th grade or have competed in a high school tournament. Athletes must wrestle in the gender-appropriate division unless a comparable competition is not offered. Your current USA Card must be shown at weigh-ins and is required to preregister.

Registration: Information will be posted as it becomes available! 

Coaches: Coaches are required to hold a current USA Wrestling Leader membership card, which can be purchased online through USA Wrestling’s membership system. Wrestling leaders complete mandatory SafeSport training and a background check through USA Wrestling. Please allow up to two weeks for the background check to go through. This is the same membership required to coach at the WWF Kids Folkstyle State Tournament. With this membership in USA Wrestling, one will be able to access the National Coaches Education Program certification and be able to coach at chartered club practices as well. By purchasing the membership in advance of the qualifiers, anyone needing to complete the Copper (or higher) certification for coaching at Kids State will have the entire week to complete the additional requirement.
