Saskatchewan Beach Wrestling Championship

This tournament is meant to be a fun way to enjoy some sun, great company and of course, wrestling. 

Beach Wrestling is a fast growing sport with a high probability of becoming an Olympic Sport. The rule set is easy to understand and the matches are fast and action packed. It's also a rule set that competitors from grappling sports other than wrestling can easily use their skills to help them compete.
