Trustees Report
City of Belfast Boxing Academy 22 / 23
Our plan for 22 /23 was to simply rebuild the numbers in all sections, develop and support the coaches we have and survive the financial crisis. We are happy to report in this year we have achieved this. Our membership is back up to the levels of pre Covid and we have had positive engagement with parents which we hope to grow and develop in 23/24.
We have sustained a core group of coaches which are developing their skills in boxing development through currently working with referees which we hope to extend no longer to the coaches but for our boxers.
We have been able to develop boxers through entering competitions again and we hope this will continue into 23/24. We have re-established links with boxing clubs throughout the area which creates the opportunity for our boxers and members to develop their skills through sparring. We hope to develop this in the 23/24 season.
We aim 23/24 to develop:
-
Continue to develop coaches through creating opportunities to take lead, lead in corners and have experience and opportunity to link and liaise with other seasoned coaches and referees.
-
Competitive boxers through entering grassroots competitions and creating opportunities for this to happen.
-
Develop boxers’ knowledge and skills through creating opportunities to attend workshops with referees.
-
Increase and sustain parental links and partnerships.
-
Develop healthy programmes especially around diet through the healthy body healthy minds ideology.
-
Increase and sustain parental links to support our individual boxers.
-
Develop and increase female participation.
We look forward to an exciting season and hopefully develop boxers of the future in the coming year 23/24.
