Dear Clubs,
I am writing to inform you
that as of today, all card sales with the exception of mandatory coaches cards
sold with club charters, will be processed via online
registration only. This means, that you
as clubs need to inform all of your members, coaches and athletes, that they
need to register themselves online for a USA Wrestling competitor or coaches
card. They will want to do this prior to
any practices or tournaments.
I will no longer process any
cards sent to me by clubs or individuals.
They will be sent back to you with a note to refund the members their
money so they can use it to purchase their own card online.
To purchase the card, have the
athletes or coaches go to the state website:
http://www.WashingtonStateWrestling.com
and select USA Card Sales on the left side of the main page. From there you will be directed to USA
Wrestling’s site for
Clubs, please inform your
parents and coaches of this change immediately.
We are working with USA Wrestling to provide clubs and tournaments the
ability to register athletes as a club, but that has not yet been
implemented. I will keep you informed
when you will be able to do that. I
would advise parents, coaches and wrestlers to get their cards prior to a
tournament. For one thing you should
have a card prior to practicing and that should be prior to an event. The clubs should be making this a mandatory requirement
for practicing for their own liability as a club.
Now is the time for everyone
to be getting their cards – do not wait.
Cards will be printed with the
payment confirmation when they are purchased – no more waiting for them. The one you print is the one that will be
used all year. Once you purchase, you are
a covered member instantly.
Please let me know if you have
any issues during the registration process so I can relay that information to
the website developers and get it corrected.
Your USA Wrestling membership
card is the only copy you will receive.
Please have your parents make a copy of it and put it away in case you
lose the original. I cannot stress this
enough. Always carry around
identification that will confirm your birth date in case you are questioned at
an event. Parents will be required to
produce this information if they are questioned by any member of the tournament
staff or State staff.
Please update any club prices
on your website to reflect this change.
If you have any questions or
concerns feel free to E-mail or call me at any time. My E-mail address is: SherryBullard@earthlink.net
and my phone number is: (360) 297-8494.
Sincerely,
