Forms & Medical Releases
Trying Wrestling for the First Time?
Short-Term Trial Liability Waiver / Medical Release Form (PDF)
Use this existing club form only for a wrestler trying up to one week of practices before purchasing a USA Wrestling membership card and completing full club registration. This short-term trial option is not a substitute for USA Wrestling membership for ongoing practices or competition.

Contact the coaching staff if you’re unsure about the trial process or how to submit the form.
Skin-Condition Medical Clearance
USA Wrestling–Kansas Skin Lesion Release (PDF)
For a wrestler who needs medical clearance for a skin condition. USA Wrestling–Kansas requires its designated skin form plus evidence of the doctor’s office on letterhead or a prescription form. The medical professional and tournament officials determine whether the wrestler is eligible to return; a form alone does not guarantee clearance.

Do not attend practice or competition with a potentially contagious skin condition; contact a coach and follow medical and event requirements.

Kansas Youth Wrestling Rules & USAW Membership
Kansas age division cutoff: For USA Wrestling–Kansas youth folkstyle competition, age is based on the wrestler’s age as of August 31 before the competitive season. For the 2026–27 season, use August 31, 2026. A wrestler does not automatically move divisions on their birthday during the season.
USAW membership renewal: Membership cards expire August 31 each year; renew for the membership year starting September 1, even if your Topeka Blue Thunder club training fee is already paid.
- Official USA Wrestling–Kansas Rules, Age & Weight Divisions (includes Kansas-specific exceptions).
- USA Wrestling National Age & Weight Chart (national and other-style divisions may use different age rules from Kansas youth folkstyle).
- Purchase or Renew a USA Wrestling Membership.
Always check the specific event flyer for age brackets, weight classes, eligibility, weigh-ins, and deadlines.
New to Tournaments?
Start with the club FAQs and live calendar. Confirm the tournament’s registration deadline, event-specific age and weight classes, weigh-in instructions, and any required skin documentation.
For competition, bring wrestling shoes and an approved singlet or wrestling-approved two-piece uniform. Topeka Blue Thunder wrestlers are expected to wear a team-branded singlet most of the time. Headgear is optional for Kansas youth competitions, but we recommend wearing it to compete; high school and college competitions require it. The club rents singlets and headgear at no cost.
