MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK.
Cobos Classic High School Invitational
December 3, 2022 at Avon Lake High School
Avon Lake hosts an annual high school wrestling tournament to kick off the season in early December, named after our generous sponsor, Cobos Insurance.
The Cobos Classic is a pool-style tournament where each wrestler competes against all the other wrestlers in their pool and then the top wrestlers from each pool compete in a bracket. The final round of placement matches will be held in the late afternoon. It all makes for a great day of wrestling that is supported by the whole community.
How Can Parents Help?
This will be a great weekend with fantastic wrestling and it’s the club’s job to keep everyone involved fed and hydrated. It’s is a high school tournament, but we depend on help from wrestling parents at all levels of the program.
As many as 16 schools participate and our job as the parents is to feed all the coaches, referees, table workers, bus drivers, and of course, our team. Many community businesses provide food for the hospitality room and wrestling parents give support by donating snacks and drinks.
There are 3 ways parents can help:
How Can Parents Attend?
Tickets will be available starting on Friday for purchase through the ALHS Box Office. Cost is $6 per session or $15 pass for all 3 sessions. Online ticketing only, no cash will be accepted at the gate. You can also follow the action online in real time through our tournament vendor, Jake’s Wrestling.

Open Tournaments
We also host open tournaments for youth, middle school, and high school wrestlers, specifically the Avon Lake Fall Open in November. The open is a great opportunity for the athletes to compete while also raising funds for the club. Volunteers are needed for these as well, usually to run tables and awards.
