Michigan Grappler is excited to announce the launch of a brand new pre-season event right before the start of the season.
The Michigan Grappler Pre-Season Challenge will be a great convenient opportunity to get some quality matches in before the season gets underway and a great platform to launch the new season’s Michigan Grappler rankings before official competition begins.
The Grappler Preseason Challenge is being hosted at the Legacy Center Sports Complex in Brighton, conveniently located just off US-23 near the I-96 intersection.
All athletes must have current USAW memberships for the 2025-26 season to compete.
