Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Students: find a team near you with the location map on the Wrestling page. Parents or students who want school help: email btsphilly@btsphilly.org to set up a first visit to the Mentoring Center..
What to expect
The Mentoring Center pairs student athletes with near-peer role models, often from Drexel and Penn, for school help. The site does not say how long a first visit lasts or who attends it, so ask when you email.
Tips for your first visit
- Email or call (215) 454-2255 before you come, since the Mentoring Center's hours are not posted.
- Sign up for the Mentoring Center list to hear about closures and schedule changes.
- Ask the team or the office for practice times, since the site does not list them.
- The main office and the Mentoring Center are at 3700 Market Street, Suite 300.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: A first visit to the Mentoring Center is offered by email, and the site has a team finder, but the wrestling sign-up steps are not described..
