MORE THAN A TEAM.
IT'S A MOVEMENT.
The NC United National Team was created to unite North Carolina's top wrestling talent into elite teams that can compete at the highest levels of national competition.
As part of the broader NC United organization, our National Team provides elite wrestlers with opportunities to compete against the best programs in the country while representing North Carolina with pride.
