Georgia Freestyle Greco State Tournament

Team Georgia to adopt the USA modifications for the Fila rules and use them in State championships on Saturday 6/1/2013 at Mountain View High School.

Wrestlers, Parents, Coaches & Officials:

First - Good news - Wrestling has made the short list for consideration into
the 2020 Olympics!  We can NOT stop fighting now, we are up against Squash
& Baseball/Softball.

With that being said, part of the reason for making it this far is due to
some immediate changes at FILA with personnel and with some rule changes. 
These rule changes were effective immediately at the FILA levels and are now
being changed at the USA level with some modifications.
