Get ready for one of the most fun events of the year! The GRPL HAUS Spring Sumo Showdown is a friendly in-house competition designed especially for our youngest athletes happening on Saturday April 18th at 10:30am.
New this year, we’re expanding the event to include 5-year-olds, giving even more of our Little Grapplers the chance to experience the excitement of competition.
Following a similar format to our previous GRPL HAUS tournaments, this event focuses on simple, exciting matches where kids test their balance, strength, and determination in a safe and supportive environment.
Athletes will compete inside a circle and try to push or pull their opponent out of the ring to score a win. In some of the more advanced divisions, athletes will also be allowed to attempt takedowns to secure victory.
Each matchup will be best 2 out of 3 rounds, giving every athlete multiple chances to compete and learn.
To ensure everyone gets plenty of mat time, the tournament will follow a double elimination format, so every participant will compete multiple times during the event.
To finish the day, we’ll host a special Absolute Mini Championship, where the champions from each age group will face off for the ultimate Little Sumo title.
This event is all about fun, confidence, and giving our youngest students their first taste of friendly competition while cheering each other on as a team.
Come ready to push, pull, and have a blast!
