		SUMMER WRESTLING camps are coming to Minot! June 14-15, there will be a camp at the MSU dome and June 15-17 there will be a camp at Bishop Ryan High School. Click here for MSU and BRHS camp flyers. We encourage wrestlers to attend either or both of these camps. The instruction will be top-notch!

		NEARLY $2,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS were awarded to Dakota Rattlers wrestlers to attend camps and national tournaments in 2010. This is a testament to the dedication of our club and wrestlers. It is the intention or our club to support our dedicated wrestlers. A set of guidelines will soon be laid out and money budgeted to better help us accomodate requests for financial support. With your help, Minot wrestling will return to prominence in North Dakota wrestling.

THE RATTLERS HAVE BEGUN making their mark on the high school wrestling scene. Many of the kids who began wrestling in our club as 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders are now finding their way onto their respective high school varsity teams. A total of 20 Rattlers qualified for the state high school wrestling tournament with over half of them placing in the top eight! The list of qualifiers can be found on our results page. We are very proud of this group! It is also a testament to the importance of quality practice partners. Many of us can remember the entertaining practices watching these kids work against each other...and now their hard work is paying dividends. Congratulations to all our wrestlers!

NEED A USA CARD? USA cards can be purchased any time on-line. Go to themat.com or click on this link and follow the instructions. One of the most prominent issues that people have come across is that they don't remember their child's USA ID or password when renewing a membership. There is a "forgot ID or password" link on the registration site, but if you still find yourself having problems contact our web wonk Joel Sandy he'll help.

DAKOTARATTLERSWRESTLING.com IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR PHOTOS! It's fun to see photos of the kids in action, but regretfully one camera just isn't enough. If you would like to see your wrestlers' photos featured on this web site, please e-mail them to our Web Wonk, Joel Sandy. Please remember to include the names along with the photos.
