How do I navigate the TWA app and why do I need to use it?

A parent or guardian first needs to create an account for you and your kids through TeamUp. Next, download the TWA app and login. Our app has club news, class booking, memberships, team store, chat, and more features.

Do you offer free trials?

Yes, we offer a 2-week free trial for beginners with less than 2 years of experience to register for Developmental practices. We also offer a 1-class free trial for wrestlers with 2+ years of experience to try our Elite practices.

What should my child bring for their first practice?

Practices get hot and sweaty. Our recommendation is to wear athletic shorts, t-shirt, wrestling shoes, and a wrestling headgear. You can purchase wrestling shoes and headgear nearby at Dick’s Sporting Goods or online. Bring a water bottle as well!

Will TWA have a tournament team?

Yes, we will have a tournament team, but timing is TBD. More to come on this but we are very excited about establishing an elite competition team.

Do you offer merchandise?

Yes, we have t-shirts, shorts, sweats, water bottles, body wipes, and stickers for sale in the Store page and on our app. We’ve collaborated with Rudis for custom gear and will continue to work with them and a local company for gear drops in the future.

Where are practices located?

1050 Classic Road, Apex NC 27539. You can now find us on your iPhone map apps by searching “The Wrestling Academy”. Please use the rear loading dock entrance door on the far left next to the garage door and park up front.

Do you offer coaching for all age groups?

We are currently open to coaching both boys and girls ages K-12. We offer classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced levels. Developmental (beginner) classes are currently offered twice per week and our Elite practices are three times per week. Kids with 0-2 years of experience are required to join our Developmental group. To join the Elite group, kids must seek coaches’ approval and have at least 2 years of experience to develop best.

Are girls welcome to join the club?

Yes! Girls are welcome to join. Age and experience requirements apply as noted above. We aim to offer an all-girl practice once per month in the future. It’s a great idea to coordinate with other girls to attend the same practices.

How do I sign-up?

What insurance policy covers my child?
