The ABAE Boxing Awards
The award scheme is offered in five stages: preliminary, standard, bronze, silver and gold. Incentives are offered at every stage.
The awards provide a fun recreational programme for participants, irrespective of age, gender or level of ability. The preliminary award is designed to promote a fit and healthy lifestyle with increased self esteem and confidence. There is no contact involved in the first three boxing awards and therefore there is no need for a participant to have a boxing medical. However, after progressing to the silver and gold awards, participants will be required to undergo a boxing medical and all conditioned sparring must be conducted by an ABAE qualified coach.
Boxing Tutors will be provided with the necessary literature to assist them with delivery of the scheme. Each coaching booklet contains a minute-by-minute lesson plan for each of the 8 week programmes.
