OUR MISSION

To promote boxing and other pro-social activities such as recreational and life-skills mentoring for a diverse group of youth and adults in the community. Through various activities mutual trust and respect can be gained… Sports are a large part of those activities. Over the years sports have proven to be a positive way to help bring out the best in our youth. They learn to be part of a team, a place to fit Iin, develop skills and compete with the team’s goals in mind. Most importantly, they learn that they have the resources, physical and mental to be successful. The discipline learned from sports will help them to be winners throughout their lives.
