Battle for the Ring
UNDER THE SUN!
December 20th
Outdoors at Arizona Christian University 59th Ave & Greenway, Glendale, AZ
The Third and Final MWP Battle for the ring on January 10th will be back at Desert Ridge
We’re thrilled for the second leg of the series — something totally new for MWP! On December 20th, we’ll be wrestling OUTSIDE at Arizona Christian University (59th Ave & Greenway, Phoenix).
We’re rolling out the mats onto their brand-new artificial turf for a full day of outdoor wrestling. With average temps in the high 60s and plenty of sunshine, conditions should be perfect. Think of it like MWP Under the Lights — except this time, it’s Under the Sun! ☀️
A brand-new experience your athletes will never forget.
It’s going to be fun, different, and unforgettable.
We have many athletes chasing the goal — to go undefeated in all three Battle for the Ring events to earn the Championship Ring and Singlet. It’s a tough achievement, and we can’t wait to see who rises to the challenge!
We also have many wrestlers in the running for All-Regional Honors.
📌 The top two point-winners in each weight class will receive a framed All-Regional Certificate.
📌 While you’re not required to attend all three tournaments, it definitely helps maximize your points.
📌 And please let your wrestling friends and family know: even if they can only make one event, they are absolutely welcome to join us.
📌 Important: To be eligible for All-Regional Awards, athletes must compete in the final event on January 10th.
Team pride is on the line too — the Top 3 teams from the series will take home a custom banner to hang proudly in their wrestling room.
Train hard… we’ll see you back on the mats soon!
