Beat the Streets Detroit’s (BTSD) mission is to improve the long-term outcomes for area youth. Yes, all sports are good, but wrestling is great at conveying traits such as determination, accountability, self-discipline, goal-setting, and even courage.

By creating and fostering a wrestling culture in Detroit, one which also deeply embraces the importance of learning and academics, we can help young adults to develop not only physically but also academically and emotionally.

We are the umbrella under which like-minded wrestling programs organize to improve the lives of children (especially those under-served, underrepresented and underprivileged) through the sport of wrestling. Under the guidance of our experienced coaches, tutors, and mentors, Detroit-area youth are challenged, elevated, and equipped with necessary building blocks for success in both school and life.
