Tournaments

Every spring and fall, there are multiple wrestling tournaments—most hosted by the Tri County Wrestling Association (TCWA) and sanctioned by USA Wrestling.

These are a great way for both new and returning wrestlers to gain experience, have fun, and keep improving.

Note for High School Wrestlers:

The spring and fall tournaments are not part of the DPHS wrestling season. They’re optional opportunities to compete outside of the regular season. When registering, sign up under The Laboratory Wrestling Club.

Fall Tournaments

This fall, there are 8 one-day USA Wrestling tournaments, including one hosted at Dos Pueblos!

Confirmed Fall Tournament Dates:

• Sat, Sep 20 – TCWA at Moorpark

• Sat, Sep 27 – TCWA at Westlake

Coming soon: Once the Tri County Wrestling Association (TCWA) posts their flier, I will link it here.

Spring Post Season Tournaments

In the spring, additional tournaments give wrestlers a chance to compete under Olympic styles, freestyle and Greco-Roman, instead of the high school folkstyle rules.

We’ll provide full details and guidance on the rule differences as the spring season approaches.
