With girls wrestling now sponsored as a high school championship sport in 46 states (and participation continuing to climb) there are more opportunities than ever to find the right fit.

The role of wrestling camps in the recruiting process
Camps can offer an intensive, all-about-wrestling experience that helps athletes make big improvements in a short period of time. Beyond mat time, many camps also include strength and conditioning, nutrition, mental performance, and goal-setting—plus the chance to learn what a college-style training environment feels like. If a camp is hosted by a college, that staff is typically on-site, which can be a helpful way to get on their radar.

The role of wrestling tournaments in the recruiting process
With 46 states now sponsoring a girls high school championship, more athletes have a clear competitive pathway—and tournaments are a great way to measure your level, build experience, and get noticed.
Tournaments are also an excellent opportunity to gauge your skill level. With that knowledge you can make an informed decision about what level of program you’d like to wrestle at.
An added bonus of attending tournaments is that there’s a chance college coaches will be in attendance, and you’ll have an opportunity to get on their recruiting radar.
Strong performances can help, but coaches also pay attention to attitude, sportsmanship, and how you carry yourself on and off the mat.
It also helps to introduce yourself by email and in person, then follow up afterward.
