For 2008 the cost is $200. This includes $100 for new uniforms. We base this fee on our actual expenses for the season. We get ZERO money from the school or school district.

You have to also purchase a USA Wrestling (USAW) card which costs $45 and is good for the year.

The USAW tournaments are held on Saturdays (some beginner tournaments are on Sunday) and cost $15.
