CRANK WRESTLING CLUB
FOUR ROUNDS
We strive to give young wrestlers the experience of competing at a smaller more intimate level. All of our matches take place on one mat, centre stage, so every athlete gets the opportunity to be the star of the show.
​
Our event is designed to promote technical development for young wrestlers. The Crank Cup rules encourage scrambling, mat IQ and helps build competition confidence. It’s a season consisting of four tournaments. Points are accumulated over the four events to determine the season champions and team title. It’s an excellent tournament for new wrestlers as it can shift their focus from the results of a single event to seeing their improvement over multiple tournaments.

A modern take on a traditional wrestling style. Participate in a single tournament or register for the season and take home the championship.
The Crank Cup is not only a competitors tournament but an intimate and enjoyable spectating event. Our single mat, spotlight style production guarantees not a moment of action is missed. With mat side seating, you'd have to be wrestling to get any closer.
Coaches, we know how frustrating it can be showing up to tournaments only to find out that some of your wrestlers have no opponents. Friday night you will receive official weight pools, thereby saving some families the trip and you some damage control with irritated parents.
