Both coaches and students often struggle to find texts that are not overdone. We also understand that many excellent texts are unable to be cut due to various factors. With dwindling budgets, coaches need to maximize their buying power. We strive to write ready to compete, affordable selections. Some cutting may be necessary for specific event guidelines but all our pieces range from 7 to 15 minutes in length. TTF is dedicated to the production of a quality, product that will give our customers a competitive edge. We will not allow a piece to be published that we are not 100% sure can be a winner. Other companies have sprung up over the years mimicking our approach but you will find when it comes to the heart and soul of what makes a company like this work, writing, no one comes close. Our proven track record at local, state and national tournaments is proof that what we are doing, works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUSTOMER COMMENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy Duo partner and I went all the way to quarterfinals with Evolution of Manford at the CFL national tournament.
