The Boxing Activator Course gives staff at schools, community groups and multi-sports providers the skills to introduce young people to the sport’s basics.
The five-hour course focuses on non-contact, recreational activities and games, that act as a taster for boxing.
Learning the basics
Participants will learn boxing techniques, pad work, session planning, warm-up games, and circuit games. This, alongside non-contact, competitive School Games Skill Cards, creates the foundation of the Activator Course.
Boxing Activator Courses will be delivered by England Boxing Tutors at venues around the country for up to 16 people at a time.
Equipment pack available
An accompanying equipment pack is available to purchase directly from Davies Sports, which includes everything needed to deliver sessions: Branded Gloves, Tag Box Bibs, Floor Spots, Cones, Foam Balls, a stopwatch, and a Bag.
Tutor Testimonials
Jon Dennis, Lead Tutor for England Boxing: “The Boxing Activator course provides a safe and structured programme for young people to engage in the great sport of boxing, learning the fundamentals of the sport using games and challenges. The course and kit are a great asset for any school to offer in its curriculum or as an after-school activity. The fun, interactive games and non-contact nature allow participation for all.
Paul Senior, Eastbourne Boxing Club: “I am convinced The Boxing Activator will be an excellent opportunity for all individuals to get strong, fit and healthy. It also produces all the positive attributes developed in our life-changing sport. Participating will either help you stay fit or lead you to join one of the amazing England Boxing clubs around the country.”
Brendan Warburton, Sheffield City ABC: “The Boxing Activator course is a great way for schoolteachers/community groups to introduce the sport into their sessions. The skill card games are a fun way of practising the fundamentals of boxing.”
Roy Summers, Rathbone ABC: “I think the Boxing Activator course is a great way of introducing boxing skills to a wide range of people in your local communities. It’s an engaging course, which combines the fundamentals of boxing with fun and fitness, all in a completely safe, non-contact environment and it can be adapted for any and all abilities. It was great for us as a team of coaches to learn how to deliver this course and to experience what it’s like being a participant for a change! I know I’m going to enjoy delivering this course in the future.”
