Hit the mats with Predators Wrestling!
LOUYAA welcomes both first time and experienced wrestlers ages 5-14. We are a tournament program which allows wrestlers to compete at the appropriate age/experience level. Our 2022-2023 season will run from mid November to Late February. We wrestle in the Top of the Podium Winter Wrestling Series. Other events available from MSWA Series tournaments, Py Wrestling Events, and MSWA State Championship. As part of the LOUYAA sports organization, Predator wrestling focuses on the fundamentals of wrestling while instilling discipline, self-confidence, and sportsmanship in a FUN and SAFE environment. Your wrestling fee includes registration, practice facilities (twice per week), Predators T-shirt, and tournament fees for 5 events. In a typical season your child will have the opportunity to compete in 8-12 events. Your child will have the option to participate in any or all tournaments, with the team covering the costs for 5 of them. Wrestlers will have 2-4 matches per event. Approximate fee for each additional tournament is $25. The competition level for these tournaments covers all wrestlers, from beginners through experienced. The majority of competitions are within 60 minutes from New Market. There may be few events that are further.

If you are interested in coaching or volunteering, you may sign up during the registration process. All coaches are required to pass a background check. No experience required.
Practices
Practices will start in mid November, broken into squads based on level of experience, weight, and age. Squads practice twice a week Monday thru Friday. Practices range from 75-120 min based on age. Practice times range from 5:30-8:45pm. Specific dates/times for practices will not be determined until registration has closed. Practices will be held at Oakdale High School and The Frederick County Fairgrounds.
Experienced Wrestlers
We have a high number of returning wrestlers. There will be a squad designated to our most experienced wrestlers that are transitioning into more advanced competition. This squad will practice 3 times per week. The goal for these wrestlers is to qualify and compete in the MSWA State Championship Series. Our experienced squad will compete in more advanced tournaments throughout the season.
