Derrylin Boxing Club launches the I.A.B.A National Boxing Awards...................
Derrylin Boxing Club achieved another first by becoming the first club in the Ireland to administer the I.A.B.A National Boxing Awards. The awards were launched as part of our recent two-week summer camp last July in Kinawley, where thirty-two participants aged between five to fourteen years old took part in a non-contact recreational boxing programme.
Aside from helping youngsters to be more active, this unique programme indirectly helps children to develop social skills as all activities and games require participants to interact and work with each other, so no child is left out or uninvolved.
In addition to getting the kids active, the programme contains a very good educational aspect as participants are taught what body parts and muscle groups they are using during the sessions. Each Boxing Awards also contains an educational credit towards a GCSE in boxing.
There are six boxing awards; Preliminary, Standard, Bronze (which are all non-contact) and Silver, Gold, Platinum (which are semi-contact). Thereafter, participants need to complete a further six educational assignments to gain the full twelve credits to obtain their Certificate of Personal Effectiveness level 2 which is equivalent to a GCSE grade B.
Derrylin Boxing Club has advised that they are building the National Boxing Awards programme into its core activities for members in future and furthermore that they aim to get several members through the GCSE assessment within the next academic year.
The club are very keen to launch their Boxing-in-the-community project that will encompass the National Boxing Awards programme at various locations throughout Fermanagh. The programme is open to children aged five years upwards and is suitable for both boys and girls. But most importantly, due to the programme being non-contact and based upon demonstration it is completely safe andis also suitable for children with any disabilities (e.g. deafness/short-sightedness) or medical conditions (e.g. epilepsy etc)that would prevent them from participating in competitive boxing.
Any Community Groups, Youth Clubs or Schools (Primary or Secondary) that are interested in running the programme in their community centre or school should contact Sean Crowley on +353(0)860521757 or email info@derrylinboxingclub.com. Similarly, any parents that wish to enrol their children for September’s programme should contact Derrylin Boxing Club as soon as possible as places are limited.
