Practice Schedule – No Practice Wednesday/Thursday of next week – Happy Thanksgiving! FULL PRACTICE SCHEDULE – If there is no practice on the schedule we do not have practice!
Starting next week we will enforce our closed practice policy. Only those coaches who have completed their background check/safe sport training/purchased a USAW wrestling leader membership will be allowed in the room.
- ALL COMMUNICATION THIS YEAR WILL BE VIA DISCORD. JOIN DISCORD HERE

- UNLESS YOU WANT A NOTIFICATION FOR EVERY MESSAGE THAT COMES THROUGH THE DICORD(BOTH YOUTH AND HS), TURN OFF ALL NOTIFICATIONS AND THEN GO TO THE “TBTWC IMPORANT UPDATES” CHANNEL IN OUR DISCORD AND TURN ON UPDATES FOR THAT CHANNEL ONLY.
Practice Packs – Included with your registration fee is a practice pack for each wrestler which consists of TBTWC branded t-shirt and a pair of shorts. The t-shirts will feature our sponsors logos on the back! IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED BY SUNDAY AND HAVE NOT REACHED OUT TO ME THERE WILL BE A DELAY IN YOUR CHILD RECEIVING THEIR PRACTICE PACK!
Sublimated Gear/Spirt Wear – The goal is to have our sublimated gear and spirit wear available for purchase via our website store this Sunday at the latest! Below is a preview of SOME our sublimated gear. Sublimated gear is custom printed and ordered from overseas(deadlines apply) whereas our spirit wear will be traditional screen print/DTF transfer/embroidered shirts/sweatpants/hoodies/hats/beanies/etc and will remain open to order for weeks.
Keep in mind that we do rent TBTWC branded singlets at no cost so there is no need to buy if you don’t wish to. Also note that you have the option of putting your last name on singlets but that is not required.
