USA Wrestling Head Women's Coach to Lead Training Sessions for NYC girls and coaches

NEW YORK, New York (Friday, March 8th, 2013) - Beat The Streets is pleased to announce that USA Wrestling's Head Women's Freestyle Coach, Terry Steiner, will be in New York City to work with girl wrestlers and their coaches, in conjunction with the exciting developments of the PSAL Girls Wrestling League.

For our female wrestlers, Steiner will be leading a clinic on Monday, March 11th from 6:30pm - 8:00pm at the Manhattan Training Center (see flier). Pre-registration is required and we will be limiting the clinic to 50 girls. Please contact your coach in order to register.

Meanwhile, Steiner will be leading a three-day series for the PSAL Girls Coaches on the following schedule, which will also take place at the Manhattan Training Center:

• Sunday, March 10th: 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Last year, the Public Schools Athletic League began the first all-girls freestyle interscholastic wrestling league as a borough-based program of five teams. This year, it has expanded to include 15 school-based teams and one city-wide catch-all team for those who don't have school teams. This will mark the first year having a team Dual Meet City Championship, as well as an individual City Championship tournament. The new format was recently profiled in the New York Times.
