ABOUT

The Little Go-Hawk tournament has been host to great wrestling for over 50 years!

BACK FOR 2023

Due to tremendous athlete participation and the amazing growth of girls wrestling, the tournament has been split into two separate tournaments. GIRLS will go on Wednesday the 27th, and BOYS will go on Thursday the 28th. The GIRLS tournament is capped at 250 wrestlers, and the BOYS tournament is capped at 400 wrestlers.

We run in two gyms that are adjacent to each other using 9 mats.

NOTE: In the past, we had over 200 walk-ins. To ensure we are able to plan properly, start on time, and put out a great product for the competitors and fans, there are now NO WALK-INS.
