Dear Licensees and Certified Instructors,

We hope you're doing well and thriving in your local communities! As the season kicks into gear, here’s our latest quarterly update filled with exciting announcements, fresh tools, and opportunities to grow the sport together:

🇺🇸 US Championship Announced + Transfer Rule AdjustmentsThe US Championship is happening later this month (qualifiers)! We're thrilled to see new American teams into the spotlight. With this, we’ve adjusted the transfer rule to allow teams to grow naturally and prevent teams from losing to many athletes at once as well as levelling the playing field. More details are provided on the coach portal.

🎙️ Launch of WCTalks – Our Weekly Live PodcastWe’ve launched WCTalks, a new weekly podcast airing live on Twitch every Thursday. Join us for discussions with athletes, team owners, gym operators, and other key figures in the WCT community. Expect behind-the-scenes insights, upcoming plans, and live Q&A sessions. You can catch the next episode here!

📱 Squared App: Entering Beta PhaseOur much-anticipated 1v1 Squared App is nearly ready for beta testing! Designed to streamline match tracking, training, and analytics, the app will be a game-changer for both local and international events. Join next week’s live WCTalks episode for exclusive first looks, key dates, and beta sign-up info.

🎫 WCT Passport for Youth AthletesWe’re developing a competition and training passport for young athletes, helping them track their progress, build competitive experience, and stay engaged with the sport. This tool will launch in the next quarter and will be made available to all licensed locations.

📺 WCT6 Now Publishing on YouTubeThe wait is over! Matches from WCT6 are now being published on our YouTube channel. Relive the action, share it with your athletes, and use it as a tool for training and inspiration: Watch here.

🃏 Trading Cards Drop in 10 DaysThat’s right—official WCT trading cards are launching! Pre-orders go live soon, so stay tuned for announcements. These collectible cards will feature athletes, teams, and iconic moments from recent events. A fun and fresh way to engage your community!

🏕️ **Summer Quad at Cybele Vacances (France)**We’ve set up a full WCT Quad at Cybele Vacances, a popular camping chain in France. They’ll be running sessions all summer, introducing hundreds of new people to the sport. This marks a new direction in how WCT can reach seasonal audiences and expand awareness.

As always, thank you for being such an essential part of the WCT community. Your energy and commitment are what drive this sport forward. If you have ideas, feedback, or would like to be featured on a future WCTalks episode—reach out!

Let’s keep growing together.

**With appreciation,**The WCT Team
