The NHSCA is looking for five more teams to round out the field. We are looking for teams with the following characteristics:

a) a full line-up b) the ability to travel to the beautiful Tampa, Florida area c) the desire to wrestle some good competition from around the country d) the desire to get a lot of gauranteed matches for their wrestlers

This tournament is a great opportunity for teams from all over to wrestle great competition and get guaranteed matches for everyone. There will be a balance of great teams and above-average teams. The event will serve the superstar and the average varsity wrestler equally well. The Tampa, Florida area makes a beautiful get-away during this time of the year.
