SUMMER 2025
The Boston Summer Wrestling Program is a program for students in grades 5-8 (entering grades 6-9) hosted by Beat the Streets New England in partnership with Boston Afterschool and Beyond. It is a FREE six-week program beginning Monday July 7 and continuing to Friday August 15 every weekday (Monday-Friday) from 10 AM to 2 PM. The program is run by wrestling coaches and teachers in Boston, with support from Boston college students and older high school students working as coaches in training.
The program is a combination of wrestling training, classroom enrichment, and other activities like field trips and special experiences. A typical day will feature classroom sessions as part of our Summer Learning Academy, and wrestling practices to support physical fitness and skill development. Daily breakfast and lunch are provided on site. Students with other summer commitments (vacations, family obligations, etc.) can enroll for a portion of the session that best fits their schedule.
Daily sessions will be held at the East Boston High School building, 86 White St, East Boston.
Summer Learning Academy
A common challenge for middle school students is the “summer slide” – a decrease in academic skills during summer vacation. This program works to minimize the effect of the summer slide by providing daily classroom enrichment to strength English, math, and science skills.
Wrestling Training
Students will participate in daily wrestling practices led by high school coaches, college wrestlers, and experienced high school wrestlers in the community. These practices are meant to help build fundamental wrestling skills and develop a strong team culture among the participants.
Attendance
While we encourage students to attend every day of the program, we understand that families have other commitments during the summer, including travel and vacations. Students can still join even if they need to miss certain days or weeks for other family commitments.
