Teaching boxing in schools

i posted this question in the lounge but maybe one of the brits (maybe the trainers) can help me out here...

im looking to teach boxing in schools, i know a few people here do it or have done it (stuey i think?), i'd like to know where and how to start off, what qualifications do i need and how do i apply for the scheme, google isn't much of a help.

 

Great thread, funnily enough just started helping out with Boxercise at youth club i coach football at and i really enjoyed working the pads and i've been wondering if i should pursue a boxing trainers license in future. I did the leaders course which was ok...but i'd like to someday go into training young fighters. So like Relentless i'm interested aswell...

 

mandanda have you found any info on it?

 

go on aba site mate get all the stuff u need of there i do it myself 6 days a week in schools youth clubs and on streets tryin to get kids involved i have my own boxing and fitness academy set up visit it on www.streetcagesportscic.com , cheers derry

 

i think, but not 100%, u need to contact the aba, i can send an e-mail to my old boxing coach if it helps, he used to always be doing different course's and training scheme's :good

 

contact the aba, i beleive they were trying to push some noncontact form of boxing for schools, try warrior boxing thats an amateur site.:good

 

Well you cant get much better than that lads these sort of programmes are great imo wish i was more aware of these sort of things when i was a younger.

this is all i found mate.

Cheers Derry and LP :good

I think it be good idea to go to your local club and offer to volunteer...i remember a trainer at my club did that and the club ended up sending him on the course but that was like 8 years back...so might of changed.

Edit: reading that page that's what you will have to do Relentless.

 

Cheers Derry

Good luck with that mate :good

 

i knew this was the place to ask!

thanks alot guys!

 

my old coach asked me to help out anyways so its all good!
