About
South Wye Police Boxing Academy
A friendly club for all ages and abilities. Currently the youngest boxer is 6, and the oldest 60, years of age.
Many people come to the club just to keep fit and make new friends and never box competitively. There is, however, a thriving boxing squad which has frequently travelled to other clubs and entered National competitions.
The cost is currently just £5 per session / £20 per month through Direct Debit.
Due to recommendations relating to COVID issues, we ask all participants to sign up to the Coacha App.
Details on Facebook or available from our administration coach.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own boxing gloves. However, if required, they can be bought from the club but can also be borrowed for sessions at the club initially.
The volunteer coaches at the club are all DBS / CRB checked and are accredited by the governing body England Boxing or are working towards the accreditation.
Our Work
In The Community
The Academy has close connections with the local Police team. Organising sessions for schools and colleges teaching boxing skills and basing sessions around valuable life skills such as self-control, decision making and above all health issues generally.
Furthermore, South Wye Police Boxing Academy seeks to occupy young people productively. In turn reducing local crime through the support and education of young people.
In the school summer holidays the Academy, in conjunction with West Mercia Police and Herefordshire Council, runs the highly successful “Fit & Fed” free-of-charge programme for youngsters aged 11-16. The youngsters are able to enjoy an hour of boxing training, every day, followed by a nutritious lunch prepared by professional catering staff.
