As we move closer to the January Deadline for teams to declare their ability to participate the 2021 wrestling season there are a few points we need to reiterate:
1. Any teams that are currently competing in 2020 are not under the authority of the NCWA and are not held to NCWA rules. This period of time should continue to be treated as pre-season and not subject to use of eligibility nor is any participating school insured by the NCWA.
2. All athletes that compete this in 2020-21 season will not be using any eligibility. This entire season is considered by the NCWA as a redshirt season.
3. We currently have 8 registered Universities with an additional 10 committing to competing in 2021. This number of 18 still falls far short of the 50 teams needed to launch an NCWA wrestling season in 2021
4. The deadline of January 8th for team registration is one month away. We encourage all teams that believe they will be able to compete in 2021 to reach out ASAP to the NCWA to make their intentions known. >>> Email [email protected] to help us reach our 50 team 2021 season threshold.
