NORTH END BOXING YOUTH BOXING PROGRAM
NORTH END BOXING
Programming
The North End Youth Boxing Program is a FREE after school program for youth ages 12–17 years, offered by Pan Am Boxing Club Inc. in partnership with the City of Winnipeg. The program is designed to help youth stay off the streets and find a passion for fitness and boxing by providing positive role models to guide them in the right direction.
Hours of Operation
North End Boxing Club is currently open Monday and Wednesday from 4pm - 630pm.
Starting in May, North End Boxing Club will be open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4 pm to 630pm.
The program comprises two main components: academic and boxing (fitness). Academic. From 4:00 pm–4:45 pm, the facility is staffed and open to all youth members for studying, completing homework, reading, or volunteering. To maintain a membership, youth must complete a minimum of 30 minutes of “academics” before training.
Boxing Training
From 5:00 pm–6:30 pm, the focus will shift from academic to boxing and fitness! The youth will train as a team under the direction of the Head Coach and a volunteer assistant trainer who will take them through the workout from warm-up to cool-down. Structured workouts will change from week to week, but the typical class will include:
• Warm-up—the coaches will discuss the plan for the day, then take the group through a variety of dynamic movements and drills to get the muscles, joints, and mind ready for the workout.
• New member orientation—following the warm-up, the assistant trainer will take the new members to the side and show them the boxing basics. Once complete, they will join the main group again.
• Technical portion—after a few conditioning drills, the class will work on boxing techniques using a variety of drills and exercises.
• Fitness portion—after the technical portion of the class, the group will go into a variety of fitness and boxing drills.
-
Cool-down—to finish the class, trainers will take the group through a cool-down, relaxing the muscles and mind before they leave the facility.
