Each summer, teams from ten or more Beat The Streets cities unite for a week of training and activities. Wrestlers build lasting friendships with their counterparts from other urban centers while engaging in a combination of enrichment activities and wrestling. Over 300 girls and boys participate.
The inaugural National Duals was held in Chicago in 2022 and again in 2023. BTS New England hosted the event in Boston in 2024.
The 2025 BTS National Duals and Camp will be held at the end of June in Philadephia. Hosted by our sister city BTS Philly, we look forward to another opportunity for cross-country cameraderie and friendly inter-city competition. More information for wrestlers about how to qualify to participate in this opportunity will be available in spring, 2025. Talk to your coach if you are interested.
