Trustees Report
City of Belfast Boxing Academy 23 / 24
Our plan for 23 /24 was to simply develop boxers’ skills, knowledge and understanding of competitive boxing, increase the number of boxers participating in grassroots competitions, increase and sustain parental links and partnerships, develop healthy programmes and to develop and increase female participation. We are delighted that this has been achieved.
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 continue and extend not only to the coaches but for our boxers.
We have been able to develop boxers through entering competitions and we hope this will continue into 24/25. We have re-established links with boxing clubs throughout the area as we have attended and hosted over 8 interclub sparring sessions throughout the year. This creates the opportunity for our boxers and members to develop their skills through developmental sparring.
We started a Tuesday evening Box fit class, and this will hopefully grow and extend in 24/25 thus increasing female participation which will remain a core aspiration within the club.
We aim 24/25 to develop:
-
➢ Increase the number of competitive boxers through entering grassroots competitions and creating opportunities for this to happen.
-
➢ Continue to develop boxers’ knowledge and skills through creating opportunities to attend workshops with referees.
-
➢ Increase and sustain parental links and partnerships.
-
➢ Develop developmental sections within the junior age groups.
-
➢ Continue to increase and develop female participation.
We look forward to an exciting season and hopefully develop people and boxers of the future in the coming year 24/25.
