Texas Takedown Academy

🚨🚨Room Update🚨🚨

Ok, we have a room, but it’s definitely not the ideal situation that I was hoping it would be.

They’re making the Walnut Grove high school coach be present for all practices. He is only available Tuesday and Thursday, so that will be the only days we can practice. We also can’t practice during school breaks.

Cost, it’s going to be $40/hour if we ONLY have Prosper ISD students. The price if we have non-PISD students will be based on how many we have in the club. I am going to try to get them to just charge us the $40 if possible.

💥The cost is a bit higher than we can do on our current registration dues. I have been eating all the costs (and they’re SUPER high right now since this is the time I have to renew all registrations/insurances) and at $800+/month to rent the room…the current dues are not going to be enough…especially since our numbers will be much lower now.

💥With that said, I am going to have to change it to $100/month for dues, with a season commitment (all of Folkstyle season or all of Freestyle/Greco/Summer season) to make sure we have enough wrestlers to cover the costs for at least the season. Those that have paid their yearly dues recently will be exempt from the monthly this season.

I am super sorry about all this, I am really struggling and not doing well with all of this. I have worked so long and hard to build this team to something to be proud of and I am basically watching it crumble to the ground because of the costs and limitations we are having.

I am sorry if I haven’t been communicating well, I am just really handling this very well. I am hoping we still have enough wanting to stick around to make this work. I promise you all that I am doing everything I can.

🚨💥If anyone has any suggestions or anything PLEASE let me know!! Tony is asking around to see if there is another possibility that’s close by that can work. I wish I, and everyone else, could make it out to Anna to David’s gym, but I can’t make it there and/or have my kids gone that much longer.

I love you all and please know I have given everything I have to the team and to try to keep it going. 😢

🚨🚨New Update!🚨🚨

Looks like we are getting to the final stages!!! I am not sure what the fees will be just yet, but surely it’s something more reasonable!

Very sorry about the slow update. I have been sick and got behind on some work and messages.

Nothing super major coming from Saturday, but the coach at walnut grove said he was going to talk to someone else to see if they can help speed it up. I also talked to some parents of wrestlers there that go to TTA and they’re going to talk to everyone they know with the Prosper ISD to try to make the push.

I feel like we are right there at the finish line, but at the mercy of the Prosper ISD to just look at it and give the green light. I am REALLY hoping we can get someone with the ISD to just take a few minutes to look at our application and give us the approval!!

🚨🚨IF ANYONE KNOWS SOMEONE WITHIN THE Prosper ISD BOARD…CAN YOU PLEASE REACH OUT TO THEM AND ASK FOR THEIR HELP!!🚨🚨

Thank you all for being patient…I promise I am doing everything I can!
