Kids Club

It is very important that we give back to the wrestlers in our community.  We have started a kids wrestling program that is called Oklahoma Elite.  We will be holding practices in the Oklahoma University wrestling room. We want to provide wrestlers in our community to have a chance to learn from some of the best young coaches in the COUNTRY - building young wrestlers into State and National Champions.  Train with the best wrestlers in the area. To be the best, you have to train with the best... Become a Champion.

Fall Session Recap -  The fall session was very successful for our young wrestlers and program.  We had over 30 wrestlers competing for the Oklahoma Elite and they represented our program with tons of success.  The team won a few team titles and we had many individual champions in the fall.  We look forward to training for USJOC, Tulsa Nationals and the State Championships.
