Boxing
Welcome to the most exciting sports experience you’ve ever encountered! Boxing is the combination of athleticism, physical and mental conditioning, sportsmanship, and self-worth that is unequalled in any other sport.
Boxing, properly coached and supervised, can be an extremely fulfilling and a valuable experience for today’s youth. It can be used as a vehicle to develop a positive release of frustrations and energy, as well as building self-confidence and character.
Amateur boxing provides an excellent means of conditioning for the high school athlete during the off season. It is the ideal sport for youngsters who are not involved in a school sports program or aren’t attracted to team sports.
Is Boxing safe? Amateur boxing ranks 71st among amateur sports for injuries; wrestling, diving, gymnastics, and even badminton are ranked above it. Amateur boxing is possibly the most regulated and supervised sport of any amateur competition All boxers are required to wear protective equipment including gloves, headgear, mouthpieces, groin protectors, and in the event of a female bout, chest protectors. A list of equipment will be provided to each participant. All coaches and trainers are instructed and certified through the USA Boxing

As a national governing body recognized by the United States Olympic Committee, USA Boxing is responsible for the administration, development and promotion of Olympic-style boxing in the United States.
