    NWCA announces sale of InterMat to Rev Wrestling

    MANHEIM, Pa. -- The National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) is announcing the sale of its InterMat Web site to the Minneapolis-based company, Rev Wrestling, effective April 1, 2009. Over the next several weeks, management of the InterMat Web site will be transitioned to Rev Wrestling. Rev Wrestling is a premier wrestling site that has been providing leading edge wrestling news, rankings, and feature stories for five years. Further, they have an established premium service featuring unique content not readily available to the public.

    Current InterMat Premium Service subscribers will be given access to the Rev Wrestling's premium service, Rev Gold. Rev Wrestling will combine both sites and operate them under the InterMat name. The pooling of these resources will provide current subscribers and the general public with access to a heightened amount of premier content.

    While InterMat has served the NWCA and the wrestling community well over the past five years, the sale to Rev Wrestling will allow the NWCA to dedicate more time and resources to saving threatened wrestling programs and to starting new ones. Just over the past four weeks, Five intercollegiate wrestling programs have been eliminated in the past month. The NWCA has taken the stance that in today's economy, it can better serve wrestling as an advocate rather than a reporter.

    The NWCA was founded in 1928 with the purpose of promoting, protecting and preserving collegiate and scholastic wrestling. The ultimate goal is to increase the number of wrestlers, wrestling teams, and wrestling coaches at all levels.

    Aside from its continued program entrenchment efforts, the NWCA is developing a full scale Coaching Development Program and a College Coaches Academy. The NWCA, in last 12 months, has invested $700,000 to the development and release of online coaching development programs.

    "On behalf of the NWCA we would like to extend its deepest appreciation to all of the sponsors coaches, readers, and subscribers that supported InterMat throughout the years. Also, a tremendous debt of gratitude is owed to the numerous individuals that helped provide both additional content and information to InterMat. The entire staff at the NWCA is proud of the work that it has done with InterMat to promote wrestling and is eager to build on that promotion as the NWCA moves in a new direction." NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer said.

    The National Wrestling Coaches Association, established in 1928, is a professional organization dedicated to serve and provide leadership for the advancement of all levels of the sport of wrestling with primary emphasis on scholastic and collegiate programs. The membership embraces all people interested in amateur wrestling.

    The NWCA, through its organizational structure, promotes communication, recognizes achievement, recommends rules and regulations, sponsors events, and serves as an educational and informational source. Additionally, the NWCA strives to foster the sportsmanship and integrity that are the cornerstones of athletic competition.
