About Wrestling

The Virginia Beach Nationals was founded in 2011 by Jack Harcourt. We are a non-profit organization comprised of a group of former wrestlers, coaches, officials, parents and event directors. The wrestling tournament is held at the Virginia Beach Fieldhouse as is the only "Red Championship Belt " event in the country. Since we started we have contributed over $21,000 to the Wounded Warrior Project, One Team One Fight, The Navy SEAL Foundation and 31 Heroes. We have also been able to contribute over $10,500 in support of several local wrestling programs due to their event service.
