Programs
3 programs
Wrestlers in business network is an operating division on the nwca and is intended to help facilitate internships and career opportunities for high school and college student wrestlers. Further, there are wibn chapters forming across the nation that host regular networking events that generate revenue. The revenue that is generated from these activities is reinvested back into the local wrestling ecosystem at the discretion of the local wibn chapter board. Wrestlers in business network supports the association's wrestling programs and coaches through funding, mentorship opportunities between business leaders and coaches, and the availability of internships and career opportunities for the wrestlers.
The nwca hosts a series of premier events each that are intended to showcase amateur wrestling's hero's and champions to a broad audience. The nwca also makes it best efforts to nationally televise and/or webstream its events in an effort to communicate the incredible renaissance of college wrestling to the casual fan. These events include the multi divisional national duals which features upwards to 100 of the top college wrestling teams in every division other than division i. The teams compete for a national dual meet championship in their respective divisions. The pittsburgh classic features many of the top high school seniors from pennsylvania vs an all star team of high school seniors from across the nation. There is an undercard featuring a team of high school seniors from western pennsylvania vs a team of high school seniors from a specific state. Many of the participating high school seniors are among the top recruits in the nation. In some cases, the nwca works closely with college governing bodies such as the ncaa, naia, and junior college to provide support services for the respective national championships. In other instances, the nwca collaborates with other wrestling entities to host premier championships such as the national collegiate women's wrestling championships (ncwwc). Women's wrestling at ncaa affiliated colleges is currently recognized as an "emerging sport" so the nwca works with affiliated organizations such as wrestle like a girl, usa wrestling, national wrestling hall of fame, and usa wrestling to host a national championship until all ncaa minimum requirements are met to qualify for ncaa championship status.
The nwca is a membership based organization that primarily serves the scholastic (middle school), high school, and college wrestling coach communities. The nwca currently has approximately 16,000 members that are comprised of wrestling coaches, parents, fans, donors, and business leaders across the nation. Membership activities allow for the production and dissemination of amateur athletic news and the promotion of the national ameateur wrestling athletic activities. The nwca has programming that serves over 350,000 middle school, high school and college student- wrestlers annually. The nwca specializes in developing transformational high school and college coaches who provide an extraordinary wrestling experience to change lives of aspiring student-wrestlers. Through an nwca operating division, wrestlers in business network, we intentionally connect our student wrestlers with opportunities to pursue attend college, trades, military, or a job.
