Welcome to the Bay Area Wrestling Association "The State's Oldest Association". We are a non-profit organization formed in 1965 with the intent of developing wrestling programs and communities in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Two years ago, our association went through a restructuring phase. This year we will have a new group of members who will managing the association. In 2008-09 we ran four successuful events. Our events ran releatively smooth and we were able to get athletes several quality matches while getting them out of the gymnasium by 1 and 2 pm on Saturday afternoons. We also tried several strategic changes to managing events. These included: hosting events on Friday afternoon, giving participation pins to all kids under 12 years of age and using a mat side staging system. These and other changes were made with the intent on providing a good quality match enviornment, maximizing the time of the participants and effectively using our human resources. A special note of thanks should be given to the following individuals who positively contributed to these events: Michael Klobuchar, Andre Mohney, Michael Guingona, Roger Brigham, Vic Anastasio, Ken Richau, Bill Gray, Doris Rudolph, Lisa Clark, Julie Glaungiger and Jackie Garcia. In addition, for the second year in a row, we were able to fill a full team and compete in the California USA Association Games. This year we are hosting additional fall events and have a full spring schedule planned. We will also be co-sponsoring several cultural exchange events with teams from Mexico, Peru and Spain. In addition, we are working on providing development clinics at the events this year with national caliber athletes like: Travis Lee from Cornell University and others to follow We have taken time to detail all of the events for this year on this website.
