A benefit for homeless military veterans will be taking place during the War at the Jersey Shore. Tournament attendees are encouraged to bring donations of food, clothing, toiletries (tooth brushes, combs, hair brushes, soap, etc.). Monetary donations will be accepted as well.

2020 WAR REGISTRATIONS WILL OPEN IN THE FALL!!

The 17th Annual War at the South Jersey Shore Folkstyle Nationals wrestling tournament is coming on April 10 & 11, 2020!! As always, the War is contested on Easter Friday and Saturday. Once again, we will include a BOYS DIVISION (Open to Girls), a GIRLS DIVISION (Girls Only) and an ADULTS DIVISION. Further details on the Girls and Adults divisions are available now.

We had over 2000 of the finest wrestlers in the country make their way to the Jersey Shore in Wildwood, NJ for the 2019 War. The tournament was once again held in the fabulous Oceanfront Arena at the Wildwoods Convention Center in Wildwood, NJ. The Co-Ed War tournament is for Pre-K to 12th grade wrestlers ( girls & boys together) split across two competition sessions. The morning sessions (8:00 AM START BOTH DAYS) feature the Girls  (both Divisions), and the Boys (Tot, Bantam, Midget and Junior divisions). The afternoon sessions (1:00 PM START BOTH DAYS) featured the Intermediate and High School age groups. GIRLS DATES AND TIMES WILL DEPEND ON REGISTRATION NUMBERS.

AGAIN IN 2020, ATTENTION PARENTS: Wrestlers eliminated on Day 1 can sign-up to wrestle 2 more matches on Day 2 (in a 4-man bracket)! We will make every effort to get 2 matches for wrestlers who register for Day 2's "Second Chance Brackets". Wrestlers MUST register at Head Table prior to leaving their session. There is a fee for the Day Two "Second Chance" matches ($15.00).

Like last year, this year's tournament once again features the whole FloWrestling experience: FloArena tournament software, which allows the online wrestling public, as well as attendees at the arena, to follow all of the results REAL TIME ONLINE. People who couldn't make it to the tournament are able to view live streaming from EVERY MAT on the Internet this year!
