Who is considered a 1st Year Wrestler?
Youth wrestlers who are in their first season competing are considered 1st Year Wrestlers.
Sometimes, a wrestler may purchase a USA card to practice only, but not compete. That year is not considered 1st year if they do not compete. Wrestlers are considered 1st year during the first season of competition.

If your certification is not showing you will need to contact USA Wrestling and have them research.
