The Recreational Coaching booklet covers the non contact awards, Preliminary, Standard and Bronze.
Boxing Tutors/Coaches
I am sure you are all familiar and successful with taking boxing lessons within your own gyms. However as a result of promoting boxing within a variety of organisations and working amongst a large number of participants, I felt there was a need for all of us to have a definitive teaching/coaching guide to work from to ensure we are all coaching and teaching in the same professional approach towards participants.
This coaching/teaching book has been designed to act as a guideline for boxing coaching/teaching in organisations. It contains a week-by-week lesson plan to ensure we are all teaching in a unified manner whilst remaining flexible enough to allow for individual coaching styles. The Preliminary, Standard, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum Awards ensure every participant benefits from the skills and disciplines involved in amateur boxing as well as keeping fit and having fun.
Below is an example of a student practice exercise and assessment.
