Amateur boxing allows boys and girls a chance to participate in
an activity that builds discipline, self-reliance, and learning the
rewards that go along with always striving to do their best. It also
provides a healthy alternative to the many negative influences that
face the youth today.
Boxing is for those that love the challenge of standing toe to
toe, fist to fist, with nothing more than God given talent, a pair of
trunks, and the will to succeed. The stamina, self-confidence, self-
reliance and knowledge that one can gain from the sport of boxing
ensures its future existence for thousands of young people looking
to positively change their life.
As coaches we have all received something good from boxing
that has driven us to keep coming to the gym five nights a week for
so many years. Our only reward being the joy of seeing young
people have a place to go and being able to see them mature.
Compare the boxing program to other programs such as
baseball, martial arts, football, etc. We supply all training
equipment. When our team travels, we pay all motel and
transportation costs. We don’t require participants to sell candy
or solicit funds for our program. Each participant gets equal time
in competition and in the gym- NO KIDS SIT THE BENCH-
The amateur boxing program provides many opportunities,
including educational scholarships and training camps. In a
clean, wholesome atmosphere, participants learn good, hard work
ethics, and are encouraged to stay in school. They are given the
opportunity to build self-confidence, good sportsmanship,
discipline, and physical fitness. All of these are desirable qualities
that contribute to the physical and social development of our
youth.
