On behalf of the Naval and Officer Cadets that participated in the Grappling Tournament, I would like to express our many thanks for your generous donation. With your financial support, the RMC Fall 2025 Grappling Tournament was a big success and enabled over 30 cadets to compete and show the hard work they have been putting into their training.
Due to your support we were able to utilize grappling specific software to run the tournament smoothly and efficiently. The N/OCdts appreciated being able to track the matches and scores in real time as well as having the competition tied to their official win/loss records in their grappling careers. In addition, the prizes for winners will help further their participation in the sport by providing proper equipment and opportunities to train at a high-end training facility.
The competition, hard work and comradery experienced at this tournament will help reinforce the warrior spirit that Officers of the Canadian Armed Forces exhibit everyday. Without your support, this event would not have been such a success and positive experience for the N/OCdts. We appreciate your support given to the N/OCdts in helping to grow grappling within the college.
