USA Wrestling declares March 13-19 as #WrestlingWeek Across America

USA Wrestling will launch the inaugural #WrestlingWeek Across America, March 13-19, and is asking all current and former wrestlers, coaches, officials and parents to engage in the week-long promotion to raise the profile of wrestling nationwide.

Each day of the week has a specific call-to-action for the wrestling community, and everyone is asked to use #WrestlingWeek in all social media posts.

“This is a great way for the wrestling community to rally around a cause to promote the greatness of the sport,” said Tony Black, USA Wrestling’s Director of State Services. “More eyeballs will be watching wrestling on TV this week than any other week of the year, and with many youth wrestling seasons winding down, this is a great way to keep our sport in the limelight on social media.”
