We don&rsquo;t promise spots. We don&rsquo;t rent kids for duals.<br /><strong>We build our own athletes.</strong><br />That means <strong>no politics</strong>, no games, and no favoritism. Every wrestler receives equal access to coaching, mat time, and opportunity. Many of our coaches have children in the program&mdash;but every athlete is treated like they&rsquo;re ours.<br />If you&rsquo;ve grown tired of the &ldquo;daddy ball&rdquo; culture or felt like your child wasn&rsquo;t getting a fair shake, this is your chance for a clean slate in a competitive but supportive environment.<br /><br /><strong>Why It Matters.</strong><br />Wrestling may be the hardest thing your child ever does&mdash;but it&rsquo;s also the most rewarding. It teaches self-reliance, toughness, accountability, and humility. There&rsquo;s no shortcut, and that&rsquo;s the point.<br />At Team Tulsa, we believe wrestling is about more than winning&mdash;it&rsquo;s about <strong>building something</strong> that lasts long after the final whistle.<br />If that resonates with you, we&rsquo;d be honored to have your family join ours.<br /><br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at,<br /><br />&#128231; <a>teamtulsawrestling@gmail.com</a><br />&#128222; (918) 857-7371<br /><br />Thank you for your time, and I hope to see your athlete on the mat with us this season.<br /><br /><strong>&#8203;Let&rsquo;s go!</strong><br />Coach Kyle McGill<br />Team Tulsa Wrestling Club<br />#BuiltNotBorrowed</font></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[March 22nd, 2023]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://teamtulsa918.weebly.com/welcome-to-team-tulsa/march-22nd-2023]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://teamtulsa918.weebly.com/welcome-to-team-tulsa/march-22nd-2023#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Wed, 22 Mar 2023 20:11:58 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://teamtulsa918.weebly.com/welcome-to-team-tulsa/march-22nd-2023</guid><description><![CDATA[Greetings Wrestling Patrons,Welcome to the Olympic&nbsp;styles season.&nbsp;Click here for new PRACTICE&nbsp;SCHEDULE&nbsp;Those new to the program or just wanting to try it out, fill out a waiver&nbsp;and submit it in person or email to ashleywade.ttwc@gmail.com&nbsp;prior to practice.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have plenty of loaner shoes if you do not have any of your own yet.&nbsp;Once you have decided you would like your child to participate, there is a one time registration fee of $25&nbsp;per wrestler [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="paragraph"><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Greetings Wrestling Patrons,</span><br /><br />Welcome to the Olympic&nbsp;styles season.&nbsp;<br /><br /><font style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"><strong><a href="https://teamtulsa918.weebly.com/practice.html">Click here for new PRACTICE&nbsp;SCHEDULE</a>&nbsp;</strong></font><br /><br />Those new to the program or just wanting to try it out, fill out a <a href="https://teamtulsa918.weebly.com/uploads/8/0/1/4/80148388/team_tulsa_wrestling_club_2022-2023.pdf" target="_blank">waiver</a>&nbsp;and submit it in person or email to <a href="mailto:ashleywade.ttwc@gmail.com" target="_blank">ashleywade.ttwc@gmail.com</a>&nbsp;prior to practice.&nbsp;&nbsp;We have plenty of loaner shoes if you do not have any of your own yet.&nbsp;<br /><br />Once you have decided you would like your child to participate, there is a one time registration fee of $25&nbsp;<em style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">per wrestler which includes a team t shirt.&nbsp;</em><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;This needs to be paid asap and can be done&nbsp;</span><a href="https://teamtulsa918.weebly.com/membership.html" target="_blank">online</a><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;or by placing cash or check into the "red box" hanging on the wall in the lobby.&nbsp;</span><br /><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">Monthly membership subscriptions are $125/individual and $200/family.

Wrestlers, parents, and coaches form a lifetime bond of shared memories revolving around the great sport of wrestling. It has been my pleasure to be involved with wrestling for over 25 years, from competing at the elementary, high school, and college level to coaching the next generation of great wrestlers. Let me say that my most recent experiences as the coach of young wrestlers is the absolute best experience I have had with the sport to date. The youngsters are outstanding, and the parents are very supportive in all aspects, which has led to a very rewarding experience for everyone involved.</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;&nbsp; Lastly, the Club is more than just a "name" or a "location". It is the young wrestlers, their parents, and the passion we all share for this sport that makes our program great. Many of the coaches do have children in the program, but each wrestler is still assured of equal time, instruction, and treatment devoid of any "politics".

Wrestling for Team Tulsa definitely provides discipline, confidence, and a newfound respect for life as they continue through their journey to becoming adults. It would be my honor to have your child compete as a Team Tulsa member, and I hope that you will consider what our program has to offer.</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">&nbsp;&nbsp; If you have other questions, you can reach me at teamtulsawrestling@gmail.com or feel free to contact me on my cell phone at (918) 857-7371.
