91����

91���� is pleased to report that it went over 200,000 members for the 2022-23 membership season on Wednesday, January 18, 2023.


The 91���� membership season runs from September 1 through August 31, which matches the organization’s fiscal year.


January 18 is the earliest time in the history of 91���� that the organization has reached the 200,000-member milestone. Previously, the earliest date 91���� surpassed 200,000 members was February 5, 2020.


The membership number includes both athlete memberships and Wrestling Leader memberships with 91����.


“91���� membership is a direct result of our state associations and our leaders at the grassroots level. We strive to provide safety, security and opportunity for our members. Knowing we have reached our 200,000th member earlier than any year in 91����'s history speaks to our state associations and clubs doing just that,” said Tony Black, 91����’s Director of State Services.


It has been a remarkable season for 91���� in terms of membership.


• Through December 31, 2022, 47 91���� state associations have shown an increase in Year-to-Date membership in comparison to the prior season

• 91���� has reached over 3,800 chartered clubs at this time, the most ever Year-To-Date

• At this time, the top five states in terms of membership Year-To-Date are 1) Illinois, 2) California, 3) Kansas, 4) Missouri, 5) Wisconsin.


91���� expects this trend to continue for the rest of the membership season, which will result in the organization besting its previous annual membership records from 2018-19, the last full season before the COVID-19 Pandemic.
