CHECK INS
All wrestlers, coaches, table workers, and runners must check in between 7-7:30.
Wrestler check in will be in the conference room (same as last year).
Coaches/volunteer check in will be in the PNC room off of the lobby.
Bands and check ins will be unavailable after that time.
Please remember that only wrestlers and coaches will be allowed on the floor, and coaches must wear their coaches' bracelets, as this rule will be strictly enforced.
All spectators are kindly requested to remain in the stadium seats.
For your convenience, all tournament brackets will be available on FloArena, but they will not be released until the day of the event. Additionally, we will have two KWL EMTs on the floor throughout the day, with Citizens EMS and two hired security personnel also present. The IUP Police will be on standby should their services be required.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, outside food and drinks will not be permitted inside the venue.
We will have a 50/50 raffle which will benefit our vice president Bob Rowland, who recently had a life changing medical procedure done. We hope to relieve some of the financial burdens he may be facing.
There will also be a Chinese Auction “Raffle Baskets for a Cause supporting Jessica Thomas”. Jessica and her family are a huge part of the Keystone wrestling league and Burrell youth wrestling.
Event t-shirts available for purchase at $20 each (while supplies last).
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Keystone Wrestling League Board members, all Keystone League representatives, and the wonderful Keystone families. Without your support and dedication, this league would not be the resounding success it is today. We look forward to seeing you at the 2026 Keystone Wrestling League Tournament of Champions.
ZERO TOLERANCE
Please be advised that the KWL Zero Tolerance Policy is in effect. This serves as the final notice for all attendees.
Any individual found in violation—including coaches, wrestlers, and spectators—will be removed from the venue immediately without further warning.
