If you are a
returning athlete or parent of TN AAU Wrestling you will find much of
the same information as well as some new information. If you are new to
TN AAU Wrestling you can find information that will help you learn more
about Team Tennessee Wrestling as well as find events to participate in.
Whether you are new or returning please take time to view what is
available on the website. If there is additional information you would
like to see made available or if you have any questions please feel free
to provide that feedback. Our hope is to provide all the information
needed to participate in TN AAU Wrestling.
TN AAU Wrestling is part of the larger
National AAU Association. You can find out
additional information about AAU by visiting
their website at
http://aausports.org. Wrestling is a unique
sport compared to most sports. The majority of
TN AAU Wrestling events are Open Events. This
means you do not have to be a member of a team
or club as in most sports. To participate in a
sanctioned TN AAU Wrestling Event (as well as
National Events) all you need is to have a
current AAU card (purchased on-line from the
National website) and pre-register (including
paying entry fee) for the event. NOTE:
Purchasing an AAU card makes you eligible to
participate in any AAU Sanctioned Sport. A
separate card is not required for each sport.
Participants in wrestling are typically
broken down into two-year age divisions or grade
divisions and by actual weight. Modified
National High School Federation rules are
followed.

The equipment/uniform for wrestling consists
of headgear to protect the ears, a singlet, and
wrestling shoes. (If you have braces or
orthodontic devices a mouth piece is also
required.)
Organizing a sanctioned AAU Wrestling Club
provides benefits of insurance coverage (at a
small cost) as well as opportunity to provide
organized practice with training partners. Clubs
are organized at the local level.
Volunteers are key to providing fun and safe
youth sports so please feel free to get
involved. If you have any questions please feel
free to contact us.
