SPIRE Academy is delighted to once again be hosting the USA Wrestling U23 Nationals and U20 World Team Trials from 05/31/2024 – 06/02/2024. Wrestling athletes from all over the country will come to Geneva, OH to compete for the opportunity to represent the United States of America at the United World Wrestling Seniors World Championships in Tirana, Albania – and the U20 World Championships in Pontevedra, Spain later this year.

This event features competition for U20 age athletes (Born 2004–2007) and U23 age athletes (Born 2001–2006) in Men’s Freestyle and Greco-Roman events. The top eight place winners in the U20 division who are eligible will qualify for the Junior and 16U National Championships held in Fargo, North Dakota from 07/12/2024 – 07/20/2024.

SPIRE’s facilities are currently being prepared to host sixteen wrestling mats and a wide area for athletes and spectators alike to join in on the action. During the event, SPIRE’s own Mike Kulczycki, Wrestling Head Coach, will be facilitating a wrestling skill development clinic where athletes can hone their skills and work with some of the best in the sport.

Jeff Orloff, President of SPIRE Academy, had this to say, “We are so excited to once again be hosting USA Wrestling’s U23 Nationals and U20 World Team Trials. To have the best and brightest wrestlers from the states at SPIRE is an honor and we look forward to providing the best backdrop possible for this prestigious event.” In partnership with USA Wrestling and the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, SPIRE is excited to host such an important event within the wrestling community!
