Contender Am-Box is the only ABAE-accredited programme to target potential boxing athletes in schools and other groups including hard to reach communities, and supplements the other two accredited programmes which target potential coaches - the ABAE Boxing Leaders course and the Boxing Tutors course.
This exciting amateur boxing programme is a partnership initiative between the Police Community Clubs of Great Britain and the Amateur Boxing Association of England (ABAE).
In preparation for its nationwide launch Contender Am-Box has been successfully piloted by the Metropolitan Police in more than 50 schools across London.
Recently accredited by the ABAE and endorsed by ASDAN, the aim of the programme is to provide students with clear pathways to fitness, good health, non-contact boxing skills, citizenship and access to registered clubs throughout the country.
The programme can be delivered in one full day or over as many as ten days, or to any schedule in curriculum time. It also addresses the Government's ‘five-hour offer’ so can be delivered in 1-hour modules after school. This flexibility in delivery times and content allows a truly bespoke package addressing local community issues together with the very best of non-contact boxing – and best of all, it’s fun!
The programme provides qualified and experienced ABAE boxing coaches, safe venues with excellent facilities, and a direct interface between young people, clubs, coaches, police and other agencies.
Contender Am-Box can be delivered by a qualified ABAE coach (Level 1 – Assistant Coach or above). Depending on the subject areas required by the coach, school or group it can be supported by various partner agencies including local police officers, Community Support Officers, Youth Offending Teams and others identified by the coach or club delivering the programme.
Assistance in identifying appropriate contacts to support your delivery can be obtained through the Police Community Clubs office.
The Contender Am-Box Programme Pack is free of charge to coaches who wish to deliver it. The pack includes a full colour manual which sets out the syllabus, lesson plans, risk assessment reports and tips on delivery. It also comes with sixty (60) A3 posters depicting all the stances, shots and defences of all elements of the non-contact boxing delivery [£15 surcharge].
The cost for students is £10 each, which equates to £2 per day if delivered over five days and £1 per day over ten days.
