TBWC – Tallahassee Battle Wrestling Club Session 3 – 2015 Flyer

We are still working out the details on the location for practice 1 due to a recent change in the school’s schedule. We will very likely be in the Chiles HS Gymnasium, but I’ll make sure there is a final notification sent out prior to the practice on Sunday. Please check back regularly to be sure. I’ll also post notices on the doors to our various locations across the Chiles HS campus for those who do not get the final notification.

Notes:

I am a returning member:

You can pay the $50 session fee here: http://tlhbwc.com/membership (scroll down to “pay club fee”) or pay in person via cash, check or credit card.

I am interested in joining and am certain my athlete is interested in the full Session:

Like the returning member, you can pay the fee at the link above or pay in person via check or cash. We can also take credit card if desired. All members must have an active AAU card. If your athlete already has an active AAU card, please email the AAU number to me at coach@tlhbwc.com. If your wrestler does not have an AAU card, you can purchase one through the club either by adding the item to your cart here or by adding the purchase price to your club fee payment for a total of $66 (which includes the $50 session fee). The AAU cards are renewed on September 1 of every year so the card you purchase now will be good through August 31st, 2015,  but will need to be renewed at that time if you wish to continue on.

Club Fee for Session 3: $50

AAU Card: $16

Total: $66

We will have all forms available at the practice for your convenience.

I am interested in joining,  but I’m not yet sure if the club or wrestling is a fit for my athlete:

If this will be your first visit to the club, please note that you can evaluate and participate in your first practice without commitment to the entire Session. You will need to sign a release form that you can download here if your athlete wishes to participate. This will allow you to bring the completed form to the first session. We will have all forms available at the practice for your convenience.

If you do not already have a AAU card for 2015 ($16) and you find that the club is a good fit for your athlete, you can also purchase one through the club at that same link above. As a reminder, all members of the club must have an active AAU card to participate on an ongoing basis. If you purchase a card through the club, please fill out the AAU application form that you can download here.

Equipment:

As always, we encourage the wrestlers to have wrestling shoes at the club for both competitive and sanitary reasons. If your athlete has wrestling shoes, please have him carry his shoes to the practice and put them on when you arrive to help keep our mats in the best condition possible. If you have questions about equipment (shoes, kneepads, headgear, etc) or where to get it, please feel free to reach out to me via phone, email or text.

 

We continue to build momentum in our program and I thank both the parents and the athletes for helping spread the word. As I always say, the more athletes we have in the room at our practices, the more realistic feel your athlete is going to get for the sport. More athletes in the room typically allows me, as a coach, to pair up your athlete with wrestlers closer to the same experience and weight while also providing a wider spectrum of styles and strengths to compete with. These things will only make our athletes stronger when we begin to venture out into the competitive environment (tournaments, scrimmages, etc).

 

I look forward to seeing you all on the mat!

 

Coach Dale
