USA Wrestling sets 5 membership records
USA Wrestling has set records in five major membership cate-
gories during the 2012-13 year, and broke through the 200,000 com- bined membership level for the very first time. The 2012-2013 membership year, which ended on August 31,
2013, set annual records for athletes, coaches, clubs, and sanctioned events, in addition to female athlete members. In addition, the combined USA Wrestling membership which includes athletes, coaches and officials, reached 205,053 at the end of the membership year, smashing the previous record of 192,941 from the 2011-12 year. “It is a huge mile marker for us to go over 200,000 members. The
importance of this is that we had about 6% growth last year and we expect it to be even more this coming year,” said Tony Black, USA Wrestling’s Director of State Services. During the 2012-2013 year, USA Wrestling registered 176,249 ath-
lete members, topping the previous mark of 166,258 set in 2011-12. The new record for coach members was set with 26,218 coaches, breaking the record of 24,020 coaches registered in the 2011-12 membership year. For the ninth consecutive year, USA Wrestling chartered clubs reached a new level, climbing to 4,153 clubs. The previous high was 4,070 clubs, which was set in the previous membership year. Sanctioned events rose to a record 2,103 in 2012-2013, an increase from the 2,023 events which were sanctioned last year. Female athlete membership reached an all-time high in 2012-13
with 5,638 registered, up from the previous record of 4,724 set in 2011-12.
