Training date for Boxing Club

The first training night of the season for Kilcullen Boxing Club will be on Tuesday 11 September, writes David O'Brien.

Only boxers from nine years of age onwards Tuesday and Thursday and the times for training are 9/10 year olds 7.30-8.30, all others 7.30-8.45/9, depending on the sparring sessions.

For all newcomers and current boxers interested, the annual fee of €20 per year covers insurance for the boxer, and subs of €1.50 per night. Any boxer aged 11 years of age in 2018, will be eligible for competition this season.

Boxing is a discipline and a contact sport, and gum shields, hand wraps and a skipping rope are required. We provide gloves and headgear, although I've noticed that the young boxers prefer there own boxing gloves and we can advise as to proper equipment.

Parents are reminded that sparring is essential and compulsory, and we operate a drop-off and collect system. It's a distraction for the boxer to have parents or guardians in the hall.

Any enquiry to myself David OBrien, PM on Facebook for my phone number.
