Season Registration

Expanded Information about Novice/Open/Elite classes:

• Little Hammers – 1st of its kind class for TBTWC last year.  Little hammers practice is geared toward 3-5 year old fully potty trained 1st year wrestlers who not quite ready for the requirements of the novice room.  A younger wrestlers(3/4) MAY be best suited for 2 years of little hammers before moving into novice but the goal is to progress up through the levels as soon as possible by learning all of the required technique at each level.  Our novice room is very structured and requires somewhat self motivated and non interruptive wrestlers.  This has left a lot of little hammers without a place to fall in love with wrestling!  If we can drive a love for the sport into them at a young age, we can keep more of them involved over the long run.  Focuses will be on: Basic Wrestling Movements and Positions, Tumbling, Games, Early Mindset Training.
• K-3 Novice 1st and 2nd year wrestlers in K-3. This group is very structured but geared towards a slower pace of learning when compared to Open/Elite and with more fun and games. The goal of this group is to teach the wrestlers to love the sport while also teaching the most basic fundamentals in USA Wrestling’s Level 1 core curriculum.
• K-3 Open & 4th – 8th Open – 3rd year+ wrestlers. This group is geared toward accelerated learning of the fundamentals of wrestling and wrestling movements. The goal of this group is to get wrestlers’ competition ready as quickly as possible through teaching all of USA Wrestling Level 1 core curriculum and some of USA Wrestling Level 2 and 3 core curriculum. We do some agility and tumbling with this group as well as a fair amount of conditioning.
• 4th – 8th Elite – This group is geared toward continued mastery of our “go to” offenses and defenses and keeping our wrestlers in the best wrestling shape as is possible. This group is expected to know and be able to perform USAW’s level 1 curriculum completely as well as much from level 2 and 3. We are constantly introducing new techniques to our elite wrestlers. The expectations are that the wrestlers in our Elite room are training to become State/National Placers and Champions. These practices are all gas and no brakes and can be VERY physically and mentally demanding for your wrestler(s). Our goal has always been and remains to be to break down your wrestlers physically and mentally so we can then build them back up stronger. Lots of blood, sweat, tears, and puke have been shed in these practices. Once your wrestler is ready for the Elite room, it is in my and all of our staff/boards opinion that the treatment they get in that room will have a tremendous and invaluable impact on them both on and off the mat for the rest of their lives!
