How to register for a tournament
Who registers and pays? Except for the Huskerland State Tournament, parents or guardians register their wrestlers and pay tournament entry fees directly. The club covers the Huskerland State entry fee; the club will announce how families should submit wrestler information for that event.
- Find an event. Open the FloWrestling Youth Schedule and use its event search, List view, or Map view.
- Check the details. Open the event to review its date, address, age/grade divisions, weight classes, deadline, entry fee, and any required membership.
- Register through the event. Select Registration or the event's registration link if one is offered. Some events may send you to Trackwrestling or another organizer's registration page.
- Finish and save confirmation. Enter the requested wrestler and parent/guardian information on the organizer's official registration page, complete payment if required, and save the confirmation.
If an event does not show a registration option, check its flyer or contact the organizer. Finding an event on FloWrestling does not necessarily mean online registration is available there. The club does not collect tournament entry payments on this website.
About the local tournament list: These are live search links, not an automatically filtered 90-mile feed. Always verify an event's age divisions, location, date, fees and registration deadline with the organizer. The club can also maintain a curated list of confirmed local events.

Can we borrow or donate wrestling shoes?

Yes. The club plans to check out a KCWC singlet to each wrestler at a practice in early February. If your wrestler needs a singlet before then, please let the club know.

Parking at Kearney Catholic High School (KCHS) can be limited when basketball games or other school events overlap with wrestling practice. Please allow extra time to find a spot on busy evenings. The club will confirm practice entrance and location details separately.
Tournament organizers may change their registration pages or requirements. Always follow the instructions on the specific event page. Club announcements take precedence over general website guidance.
