WHICH PRACTICE IS RIGHT FOR MY WRESTLER?
|
BEGINNER PRACTICE
Beginner Practice is for anyone who is new to wrestling, regardless of age. Most beginners are around 6 or 7 and may begin as young as 4, but older beginners and high school wrestlers who are new to the sport are also welcome. Wrestlers learn stance, movement, scoring, fundamental positions and basic technique in an encouraging environment. |
TECHNIQUE SESSION
The Technique Session is for wrestlers who understand the fundamentals and are competing in Open events—or are ready to begin competing at the Open level. This session focuses on improving technique, mat awareness and the skills needed to become a more complete and successful wrestler. |
ADVANCED / OPEN PRACTICE
Advanced/Open Practice is for experienced, competitive wrestlers who are ready for more demanding training. These practices move at a faster pace and include advanced technique, focused drilling, conditioning and live wrestling. |
COACH-DIRECTED PLACEMENT
Coaches make the final decision about where each wrestler belongs. If you are unsure which practice is appropriate, begin with Beginner Practice and let our coaches evaluate your wrestler. When attendance and staffing allow, beginners may be divided into smaller groups based on age, experience and readiness.
Moving up is often gradual. A wrestler may first be invited to stay for part of an Advanced/Open practice, then attend the full practice one day per week, and eventually add more days as they become ready. Wrestlers move up regularly, but we make sure each athlete is challenged without being overwhelmed.

GETTING STARTED
|
YOUR FIRST PRACTICE
New wrestlers are welcome—no appointment or previous experience is required. Please complete the registration form before the first practice so we have current wrestler, parent, emergency contact and medical information. Parents may contact Coach Kyle with questions, and every new wrestler is invited to try Team Tulsa free for one week. |
WHAT TO BRING
Wrestlers should bring comfortable workout clothes and a good attitude. Wrestling shoes are recommended, and loaner shoes are available. No singlet or other special equipment is needed for the first practice. |
COMPETING WITH TEAM TULSA
Competitions are optional. As wrestlers develop, our coaches help families decide when their athlete is ready and whether Beginner or Open events are appropriate.
Local tournaments are available throughout the folkstyle season, with regional and national opportunities for wrestlers seeking higher-level competition. Use the Team Tulsa Schedule and Live Calendar for current dates and event information.
