Gold Country Wrestling Officials Association was started in 1980. Gold Country is an organization dedicated entirely to the sport of wrestling. We have over 70 members with many years of experience at both the high school and college level. Gold Country is organized to best serve all the needs of a school or conference. Our Assignment Secretary will assist in scheduling matches and guaranteeing officials with the proper level of experience. Learn more about Gold Country.

We are going to have our 1st GC meeting on Monday October 27th 6:00pm social, meeting starts at 7:00.  This year a new addition, Jason says we can play on the golf simulator.   We will need to coordinate that with Jason but it should be a good time for a few folks.  We will once again supply food and drinks.

At this meeting we will meet the new refs and get them signed up for mentorship.  Go over the new rules for 2025-2026. Collect dues, if you haven’t already sent me your dues please bring to that meeting.   If you haven’t paid dues by the Monday October 27th meeting I will not be scheduling you any matches.   If you want to send your dues ahead of time send them to me at 16813 Fieldcrest Ave Farmington, MN 55024.

Once again this year the meetings will be Mandatory.   Of course there will be situations where people can’t make it so I am putting this on your calendar early.   If you absolutely cannot make it please let me know the reason for you not attending.    Only excused absences will be allowed.
