Missouri Chapter

Official State Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame

The Board of Governors of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum established the State Chapter program in 1993. The purpose is to pay tribute to those coaches, officials and contributors who represent the best qualities of what the sport of wrestling has to offer and who share those characteristics with young people day in and day out. Our Missouri Chapter has been growing strong since 2003.

Please fill out a nomination form if you know of a coach, official or contributor in your area that you would like to nominate.
