Target Audience
The NHSCA National Championships are high school athletic events that involve entire communities. From the athletes themselves, representing their classmates and schools, to the people that are the biggest influences in their lives, their families, parents, and coaches, these events promote the best in amateur athletics.
More than 40,000 athletes compete annually in NHSCA competitions.
NHSCA events are wonderful place to reach children and parents in the same atmosphere; a unique setting that both care about passionately (a very rare occurrence!). The strength of this sponsorship lies in the nature and strong affinity of the audience. The connection between fan and participant at these events is as strong as it gets. The fans care deeply about the events they are witnessing because in most cases, it is a son, daughter, niece, nephew or trainee in competition. The NHSCA wants to incorporate sponsors into the fabric of these events, so each company can capitalize on the loyalty and passion of the audience.
Testimonials

Within local "wrestling circles" the Senior Nationals are regarded as the premier high school wrestling event in the country.
A glimpse of last year's championships, provides a good example of the quality of the tournament:

- 52 three-time state champions
- 104 two-time state champions

- Over 900 high school and 200 college coaches in attendance
Combining the past two NCAA Division I Championships, 36 of 40 finalists had previously wrestled in the NHSCA Senior Championship, Including Cael Sanderson, considered by many to be the greatest college wrestler ever (undefeated throughout his career).
NHSCA NATIONAL OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Open Championships represent the NHSCA's most diverse field and highest level of participation. More than 30,000 wrestlers, representing almost every state, ranging from grades 4- 12 compete in this event. The National Open Championships merely represents the final event of this nationwide tournament, which consists of thousands of wrestlers competing in state and regional qualifiers attempting to make it to the Championship.
There are over 75 state qualifiers prior to the National Open Championships. Average of 200 wrestlers will compete at each state qualifier.
The Open Championships represent the true spirit of the NHSCA, local volunteers conducting grassroots qualifying events across the country.

The event is being held in Virginia Beach, VA.

The online communications with brackets and immediate results were very helpful."
