"I am very excited to begin the upcoming season," BTSNY Director of Programming Bob Seidel said. "BTSNY is comprised of an extremely talented and accomplished staff that has wrestled or coached at the highest levels of our sport. We are dedicated to giving NYC student-athletes the tools to succeed on the mat, in the classroom, and in all their future endeavors."

BTSNY has three full-time coaches to lead student-athletes to success on and off the mat: Joe DeAngelo (Head Boys Coach), Becka Leathers (Head Girls Coach) and Narankhuu Ganbaatar (Youth Programming Manager).

Since being founded in 2005, Beat the Streets New York has pioneered a movement that now includes 150 individual wrestling programs, a youth league and the first girls high school league. BTSNY works to develop the full human and athletic potential of the urban youth and strengthen the New York City wrestling culture. We aim to make a lifelong impact on student athletes through the lessons learned on the wrestling mat -- discipline, perseverance, self-reliance, humility and a strong work ethic.
