The level of Wrestling is very high, possible the highest in world outside the professional and Olympic level.

There is a total of 223 Universities that have a Wrestling program and a total of 58 Universities for Women. This is rather few opportunities compared to other sports which makes it harder to get recruited as Wrestler. However an exceptional athlete has a quite large chance to obtain a wrestling scholarship with a good university. College Wrestling teams have around 9 wrestling scholarships within a team.

The key to get recruited with a wrestling scholarship is to have a solid record of competition as a junior. What the coaches want to see is official records of your performance and maybe a video of you in a big tournament. Make sure you send ICAC a raw recorded video, meaning no music or cutting and other distractions from your performance. Without this video it is hard for a coach to estimate your level and to give you an offer.

The practice at college wrestling teams differs from university to university but what is a common factor is that the wrestling teams practice hard and intensive.
