This is a unique opportunity to compete against other boys and girls Freestyle wrestling teams from across the Northeast, in front of tens of thousands of spectators.  The average attendance at the NYS Fair on the two days that the NORTHEAST FREESTYLE DUAL MEET CHAMPIONSHIPS take place is close to 80k each day.  Fair passes will be made available for each team and up to two coaches, as well as a limited number of parking passes.  This is a USA Wrestling sanctioned event and a current USA Wrestling Wrestler and or Team Leader membership is required. This will be strictly enforced and there are no exceptions.  There are also a limited number of beds available for the teams to sleep in at the Fair on Friday night (August 28, 2026).  These beds are only available for coaches and athletes who have a current USA membership and fill out the required paperwork provided by the NYS Fair.  No parents or siblings are permitted to stay the night at the Fair.  The cost to stay the night at the Fair should be around $5 per person. However, this price is subject to change and is determined by and paid to the NYS Fair at the dormitory.
