Grappler Fall Classic

The Grappler
Fall Classic is one of the premiere Pre-Season National
Wrestling Tournaments in the Country.
Last year’s GFC High School Division featured 500 wrestlers and about 40% of the
field consisted of All-State Wrestlers. In addition, the Middle School and
Elementary Division was a virtual who’s who of youth studs from all over the
Midwest. 8 of the GFC High School weight classes featured double-digit number
of State Placers from across the country!
The GFC features a college style environment with College Riding Time, College
Officials, and a format designed for you to get exposure and get noticed! Our
video coverage is second to none and with our growing reputation, you will get
noticed if you shine at the GFC.
Too much money is wasted every year by wrestlers and parents traveling
hundreds of miles to the south and to the west to find the best competition…
well, save yourself some money and mileage next fall by staying right here in the
Midwest, the heartland of Amateur Wrestling, and compete at the Grappler Fall
Classic on October 18th in Battle Creek, Michigan!
REGISTRATION OPENS AUGUST 1st…..Don’t Miss Your Chance to SHINE!
Get Noticed …
Get National Exposure …
