welcome

Dear Parent,

I am thrilled to announce the start of the 2024-2025 wrestling season! On behalf of Team Tulsa Wrestling Club, I would like to officially invite you and your child to join us for what promises to be another exciting year. While our club remains unaffiliated with any specific school system, we are pleased to continue utilizing the Bishop Kelley High School wrestling room for our practices, which will begin in September. Wrestlers from all areas are welcome to participate. Click here for memberships and here for practice times.

I am very excited about the upcoming season and firmly believe that Team Tulsa is entering its 9th season with even more momentum. Our program is well-established, and I am committed to working with your athletes to develop their wrestling skills while also helping them grow as young men and women.

Our wrestling club is open to boys and girls of all experience levels. We offer monthly memberships for both individuals and families.

The wrestling season typically begins after football, with the Folkstyle season starting in October and extending through February. Folkstyle competitions are held locally within the metro area at various schools and event centers. Click here for the team schedule.
Team Tulsa is a year-round program, offering training beyond the traditional Folkstyle season. In addition to Folkstyle, we also train in the Olympic styles of Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. During the summer, we focus on off-season training that emphasizes these Olympic styles, providing our athletes with well-rounded development and opportunities to compete year-round.

Over the years, Team Tulsa has achieved significant success in Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling. We have crowned numerous State Champions in these styles and have seen our athletes earn All-American honors at national events like the USA Wrestling National Championships and the Fargo Nationals. Our dual teams have also placed highly in regional and national competitions. These accomplishments reflect our commitment to developing elite wrestlers who excel across all disciplines.

Team Tulsa Wrestling Club fosters a culture that feels very much like an extended family. Wrestlers, parents, and coaches form lifelong bonds through shared experiences in this great sport. I have been involved with wrestling for over 30 years, from competing at the elementary, high school, and college levels, to now coaching the next generation of great wrestlers. I can honestly say that coaching young wrestlers has been the most rewarding experience of my career. The athletes are outstanding, and the parents are incredibly supportive, making this a truly special community for everyone involved.

Lastly, the Club is more than just a name or a location. It’s the young wrestlers, their parents, and the passion we all share for this sport that makes our program great. While many of our coaches have children in the program, every wrestler is assured equal time, instruction, and treatment, free from any “politics.” As coaches, we are here for you, and our mission is to develop competitive wrestlers while instilling important values that will last a lifetime.

I am incredibly excited for the upcoming season and confident that the club is on track for even greater achievements. Last season, we reclaimed several team titles at the Veterans Day Classic, Sperry Open, Battle of the Belt, and secured our 4th Elementary Dual State title. We also led the team standings at the 46th annual OKWA State Tournament for the third year in a row, taking 1st place in the 6U and 10U boys' divisions, as well as the 8U girls' division. Notably, TTWC secured 2 runner-up finishes in the 12U and 15U boys' divisions, along with a 3rd place finish in 8U, nearly sweeping the field across all 5 age divisions. Seventy-one of our athletes qualified for the State meet, some of whom had little to no prior wrestling experience before joining the team. The club added one more individual champion compared to last year, bringing our total to 14 state champions, along with 6 second-place finishes and two outstanding wrestlers. Over the past 9 seasons, TTWC has crowned 60 individual boys’ State Champions and 37 girls’ State Champions.

Wrestling is undoubtedly the closest sport that mimics life, and it may be the toughest experience your young wrestler ever endures. Wrestling for Team Tulsa instills discipline, confidence, and a newfound respect for life as they continue their journey to adulthood. It would be my honor to have your child compete as a member of Team Tulsa, and I hope you will consider what our program has to offer.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] or contact me on my cell phone at (918) 857-7371. Thank you for your attention, and I appreciate your consideration.

​Let’s Go!
