Over 3,000 athletes ages 6-72, aided by over 700 coaches, will compete during the week. 

In addition to vying for the title of “national champion” in their respective weight divisions, the 14-17 year-old junior sparring athletes will also be competing for spots on the 2010 Junior National Team. The winner in each of the 20 weight classes (10 men and 10 women) will be named to the Junior National Team.
