Lately, I have been receiving a lot of different questions from people and I hope I can answer all of them below.  Please feel free to call me if you have any more questions or concerns.
    
-What is the 'Crown Code' -
The 'Crown Code' is a code of living.  At Utah United we Build Champions for Life!  In the 'Crown Code' way of living we will teach the following principles and values that are timeless:
 
*Spritual:  We don't care what religion you are but that you have peace of mind within you and others
*Physical:  Proper weight loss, Nutrition, and strength training are massive components to success
*Intellectual:  Academics and Financial smarts are important to us to build future leaders 
*Mental/Emotional:  Strong mentality, abundant mindset and a champion character
 
-Difference between the Green and Black Groups-
Utah United GREEN:  To be in this group an athlete must have placed in state in Folkstyle, Greco, and/or Freestyle.  This group will be focused on Becoming Champions for Life and winning state titles.
 
Utah United BLACK:  To be in this group an athlete must have placed in Regionals or Nationals in Folkstyle, Greco, and/or Freestyle.  This group will be focused on Becoming Champions for Life and winning National titles.
 
*The coaches have the right to select or not select athletes that have not or have accomplished the above requirements for these groups if they see a special potential in an athlete or not see that the athlete is fit for the group.
 
-Practice Times-
Monday & Wednesday at 5:30-7pm - Utah United GREEN
Monday & Wednesday at 7-8:30pm - Utah United BLACK
 
Both locations will be on the same days and times.
 
-Locations-
Utah United Training Center - North
1168 West 500 North, Centerville, UT, 84014
 
Utah United Training Center - South 
1200 West 800 South (on corner), Orem, UT, 84058
 
-Billing-
For current Utah United members we will be stopping all automatic billing after this month of August.  With the addition of new facilities and coaches we are going to be doing a new pricing structure that will be discussed at the parent meetings.  We will be focusing on doing a seasonal payment structure instead of 12 months out of the year.  Smaller monthly payment options will be available as well if needed.
 
-Coaches-
The coaching staff from each location will have the opportunity to travel to the other locations so they can get to know the athletes and the athletes can learn from the different coaching styles.
 
-Workout Wednesdays-
Each Wednesday we will be opening up practices from 6:30-7pm to Non-Utah United United Members for a small fee.  This will give athletes outside the Utah United Wrestling group to be able to wrestle live and train under elite coaches and athletes.  It will also be good for Utah United athletes to get a different feel.
