Freestyle & Greco Season FAQs

​

Do I need to pay for another membership? No, your 2022-2023 wrestling membership includes the Freestyle & Greco season.

Do I need a singlet? Yes, two most of the time; one that is a majority red and one that is a majority blue.

Why do I need two singlets? During most crab-pool Freestyle/Greco tournaments, when you get to the mat for your wrestler's match, the referee will let your wrestler know whether they will be wearing their blue singlet or their red singlet.

Why is Freestyle/Greco wrestling important? These styles of wrestling focus on improving particular areas and concepts within wrestling. Focusing on these specific techniques allow for unmatched improvement during the regular collegiate season.

How much commitment does this season require? As always, since wrestling is an individual sport at this level, you and your wrestler's commitment level is completely up to you. There will be less Freestyle/Greco tournaments (see schedule below for currently scheduled tournaments) compared to collegiate, which also means there will also be less practices.

Why is it important to go to the Freestyle/Greco State Championships? State is where your wrestler will have the opportunity to qualify for the Oregon National and/or Oregon Dual team(s). Qualifying for a spot on these teams provides your wrestler with opportunities to represent Oregon by wrestling in other states and at Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota. This is a coveted honor to have and is such an amazing experience to go through, both for the wrestlers and their families.
