USA Wrestling Insurance
USA Wrestling (USAW) is the National Governing Body for the Sport of Wrestling in the United States and, as such, is its representative to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee. Simply, USA Wrestling is the central organization that coordinates amateur wrestling programs in the nation and works to create interest and participation in these programs.
River City Wrestling is a chartered club under USAW and youth and middle wrestling in Kentucky is organized under KYUSAW. Your wrestler’s membership is required for both our practice room and competition. USAW provides secondary insurance coverage for all members.
Instructions for USA Wrestling registration are included in club registration through WrestlingIQ.
