North Carolina USA offers several levels of membership for Athletes, Coaches, Officials, Volunteers, and Media.

Athlete Memberships
Limited Folkstyle Membership ($20)- This membership is valid at  NCUSA sanctioned folkstyle events from September until the Elementary and Jr. High State Championships. It also covers wrestlers for local club practices (through the entire year), and serves as a league membership in some areas.
Limited Folkstyle memberships are NOT VALID at any “spring events” (events that occur after the Elementary and Jr. High State Folkstyle Championships), Regional, or National Events.
Limited Folkstyle memberships can be upgraded to a full membership at any time for an additional $30.

Full Membership ($50)- Valid at all NCUSA sanctioned events throughout the year, Regional events, National events, practices, and RTC practices. These are for wrestlers from pre-bantam through Junior divisions.

High School Team Membership Program- $525 includes your club charter and full athlete memberships for EVERY member of your high school team. (ex. If you have 20 athletes on your team you would get 20 full memberships PLUS your club charter, a SAVINGS of $600).  Available for high school teams only.

Wrestling Leaders  Memberships (formerly known as Coaches or Officials memberships)  ($50 + background check fee)
All Coaches memberships require a background check. Basic Coaches memberships are good for free admission to local  NCUSA sanctioned events, and are required for coaching at all state, regional, and national events.
