USA Wrestling has posted an extensive new resource to assist in the development of girls high school wrestling, the High School Sanctioning Resources webpage, which is now located under the Women tab on TheMat.com.
It is the product of the work of USA Wrestling’s Girls High School Sanctioning Resource Committee, which has put two years of research and networking together to create an extensive variety of materials designed to help wrestling leaders work on girls high school state sanctioning in their own state.

Currently, six states have official state sanction for girls high school wrestling: Hawaii, Texas, California, Washington, Tennessee and Alaska.
“The 2017 year has been a banner year for girls’ wrestling gaining media coverage and exposure across the USA. Coaches and parents all over the country realize the need and importance for girls to compete against their own gender. Our goal for the sanctioning resources is to provide contacts and history for the six states already sanctioned, and a tool kit outline to guide a committee starting the process,” said Joan Fulp of California, a leader with the Girls High School Sanctioning Resource Committee.
The page has four unique sections: Resources, Statistics, Support Letters, Videos. A primary document which is central to the effort is the detailed USA Wrestling Women’s Wrestling Tool Kit, which provides a variety of great resource information. The page is designed to be ever-changing, as more information is created and updates are provided from around the nation.
Currently, details on the girls high school sanctioning efforts in Oregon, Colorado, Virginia, Iowa, Kansas,Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana are included. The goal is to successfully add more states with official state sanction for girls wrestling, as well as to start the process for sanctioning in every state in the nation. The ultimate goal is to get official girls high school state programs in each of the 50 states.
