What the summer looks like

Summer is the block where wrestlers try things they'd never risk in a season match. Fewer events on the calendar means more room to build positions rather than protect a record.

[confirm: does the summer block wrestle freestyle and Greco, or stay folkstyle? It changes what parents should expect at summer events.]

Get your membership card

  • USA Wrestling card

    Cards run September 1 through August 31, so a card bought for the winter season still covers the summer block.

    New wrestler

    1. Go to usawmembership.com and create a parent account.

    2. Claim or create a profile for your wrestler. Parents can hold several profiles under one login.

    3. Choose Athlete Membership and select Missouri as your state.

    4. Affiliate with our club: [Purler club name + code]

    5. Pay, then save the PDF card to your phone. Tournaments ask for the number, not the plastic card.

    Returning wrestler

    1. Log in to the same account you used last season.

    2. Open the wrestler's profile and choose Renew.

    3. Check the club affiliation still reads [Purler club name]. Renewals sometimes drop it.

    4. Send us the new number: [email or form link]

  • AAU card

    Missouri wrestlers usually carry an AAU card as well, for AAU-licensed events. [confirm whether both are required] It also runs September 1 through August 31, and youth athlete cards are usually issued instantly.

    New wrestler

    1. Go to aausports.org and choose Join AAU, then Youth Athlete Membership.

    2. Create an account rather than checking out as a guest. It makes next year one click.

    3. Enter our club code when asked: [Purler AAU club code]

    4. Print or screenshot the membership ID.

    Returning wrestler

    1. Log in, open Manage memberships, and renew the card.

    2. If the club code is missing, add it with the edit tool on the membership.

    3. Send us the new number: [email or form link]

    Go to AAU 

  • Team gear

    Wrestlers compete in team gear, so order early. Production and shipping run [turnaround time] and the store closes between windows.

    1. Team store: [store link]

    2. Order window: [open and close dates]

    3. Required items: [singlet, warm-up, etc.]

    4. Sizing: [size chart or fitting night]

    Wrestling shoes aren't sold through the team store. Any brand works as long as they stay clean and are only worn on the mat.

    Open the team store

Summer events

  • How to enter

    Fewer events than the winter season, and mostly optional. Wrestle the ones that fit your family's summer.

    1. Check the team list for the events we're attending.

    2. Register on the event's own site, usually Trackwrestling or FloArena. You'll need the membership number from your card.

    3. Watch the entry deadline. Late entries are often refused or cost more.

    4. Tell your coach you're in: [how to notify coaches]

    Entry fees are paid to the host event, not to Purler.

  • Schedule and flyers

    Every flyer lists the weigh-in time, start time, entry deadline, and rule set. Read it before you register — that's where the surprises live.

  • Team chat

    Mat assignments and start times change on the morning of an event. The team chat is how coaches reach you that day.

    [chat link, or "sent after registration" — decide which]
