Once you’re on the RegFox website, follow these instructions to register for YNEW 2026:
 
First, provide your personal information, then choose your team affiliations.  Next, select your gender and either the Open or Girls competition. Girl wrestlers have the option of registering in both Open and Girls competitions for which they are age-eligible. This requires two seperate registrations.  
 
 
Then, insert your state of residency and YNEW past performance. Be sure to select your top performance at a past YNEW competition. Options include YNEW participant, place finisher, champion, and outstanding wrestler. You may also provide information about your top performance at a national tournament. 

 Afterwards, enter your date of birth in the registration form. When you enter your date of birth, you will be prompted to select the correct competition group, based on your age and gender.

You then select the weight class for your competition. The number that you select (the weight class limit) is the UPPER LIMIT for your weight class.  A STRICT one-pound allowance will be added to your weight class limit during weigh-ins. This is your MAXIMUM WEIGHT.

 

The MAXIMUM WEIGHT for each wrestler is their weight class limit plus a STRICT one-pound allowance. You MUST WEIGH LESS than your MAXIMUM WEIGHT during YNEW weigh-ins to compete in YNEW 2026. You CANNOT change weight classes AFTER registration closes on March 9th- Last Chance Monday (no weight class changes during YNEW weigh in).  Please select your weight class carefully!

 

By selecting your date of birth during online registration, you are certifying your true age. All wrestlers must meet age, residency, and weight requirements. 

 Refer to YNEW Weights & Ages for details. 

 

By clicking the “Acknowledge” button, you are agreeing to provide proof-of-age if your age is challenged. Another wrestler or coach may initiate an age challenge by paying a $50 fee. Any wrestler who does not make weight, or misrepresents their age or residency, is subject to disqualification. No refunds for wrestlers who don’t make weight or misrepresent their age/residency.
