Athlete safety

Athlete safety comes first. All KTWC coaches and volunteers complete a background check and SafeSport training before working with athletes. KTWC is a chartered club with USA Wrestling and AAU.

We follow USA Wrestling’s athlete-protection policies, including limits on one-on-one contact between adults and minor athletes. Parents are welcome to watch practice. Concerns can be reported to any coach, the club director, or the U.S. Center for SafeSport.

Refund policy

Full refund if you withdraw before the first practice of the session. After that, refunds are prorated by the number of weeks remaining in the session. No refunds during the final two weeks of a session. Refunds don’t include processing fees, which the registration platform doesn’t return. To request a refund, email Wildcatter@ktwrestlingclub.org.
