1ST YEAR & SUPER NOVICE
SATURDAY, dECEMBER 16TH
The BTC SHOWCASE is an event designed to showcase two specific groups – 1st Year Wrestlers and Wrestlers with 3 years of experience or below. We are also including separate Girls divisions within both groups! The location for the event is ideal for Western PA. The Greentree Sports Complex is located just outside the Fort Pitt Tunnel in Greentree which is easy to access coming from any direction.
Location:
Greentree Sports Complex
600 Iron City Drive #4349
Pittsburgh, PA 15205
Parking:
There is limited parking in the lot directly outside of the facility. However, there are a few options for alternative parking with ample spaces. We recommend parking in the lower lot and then taking the steps up to the Greentree Sports Complex. You will have to turn into the driveway just prior to reaching the Sports Complex driveway and follow it back past the hotel until you see the parking lot and the steps that lead up to the facility.
