CLASSES AVAILABLE ONLY at BCBA
The basis of this camp is character building through the sport of Olympic Style Amateur Boxing. Our program is designed to introduce kids to the rigors of hard training, proper nutrition and self discipline. Remember, a confident child is better prepared to turn away from delinquent behavior. Olympic Style Amateur Boxing helps combat childhood obesity by promoting physical fitness, emotional steadiness and self-confidence. Our boxing program teaches young people the importance of being self-reliant so they can go on to become Champions in Life! Our program is broken into two age groups. Boys & Girls ages 9 thru 12, meet for two classes per week Tues & Thurs 5pm - 5:45pm. Boys & Girls ages 13 thru 16, meet for two classes per week Tues & Thurs 6pm - 6:45pm. Each session is limited to 10 - 12 students to insure students get the quality instruction they need and the attention they deserve. This program is offered to local youth for only $75 per month. This fee DOES NOT covers the student’s equipment (gloves, hand wraps,and a BCBA tee shirt additional $65). Loner equipment is no longer available due to post COVID changes.
During our Boxing Fitness Camp sessions students are challenged both physically and mentally. The camp is all about learning the basics and fundamentals of Olympic Style Amateur Boxing. Each class begins with The Pledge of Allegiance and an interactive discussion with coaches about what they learned in previous lessons. We solicit their feedback, while encouraging them to succeed. Then there is a pre-warmup and stretching routine which includes an ab & leg workout designed to get their blood pumping and mind focused for that day's lesson.
All camp days include boxing instruction and physical challenges. These challenges are designed to chart a student's progress as it pertains to their fitness level and how they are grasping the boxing fundamentals they are being taught. Occasionally, BCBA Youth Camp students are asked to volunteer some time to local causes like food drives that BCBA may be spearheading. These tasks are voluntary but do qualify for credit with some school requirements but more than that, they help kids understand the importance of helping those in their communities who may be less fortunate than themselves. After a student's first year of training, he/she becomes eligible to move onto more competitive training. Sparring and competition is available but a student MUST PROVE to the coaches they have grasped the boxing techniques and teachings learned during their first year of training. Coach's will be looking at as student's attendance, attitude and ability when making an athlete's assessment. Students must also show a desire and a willingness to engage/compete. When a student makes it to this phase the athlete is prepped for competition through sparring and advanced training (but student desire, parent's consent and coach's assessment is required). Making it to this phase comes with a host of benefits including:
This is just an overview of our boxing program, an intense and highly structured course designed to empower youth with the tools they’ll need to turn away from gangs, drugs and delinquency while battling the epidemic that is childhood obesity.
