Life Champions Academy Expands

We’re excited to announce a new chapter for our signature enrichment program at Beat the Streets Chicago—Life Champions Academy (LCA) is now offered at two levels: Rising LCA for middle school (grades 6–8) and LCA for high school (grades 9–12). This shift allows us to better support our wrestlers’ growth at every stage. Rising LCA will focus on building core life skills like time management, financial habits, and decision-making, while high school LCA will dive into post-secondary planning, financial independence, communication, and networking. Both programs require an application, and accepted wrestlers will receive benefits like waived programming fees, free gear, and a $250 Fargo stipend. Sessions start in September, take place once a month on Sundays, and include a life skills workshop, lunch, and practice—apply by 9/05 on our LCA page!
