IABA is launching an innovative new programme for women in boxing. Ringcraft is a boxing leadership, mentorship and education programme, and is open to any woman member of any boxing club.
The programme is in three phases. Phase One is essential, while Phase Two and Phase Three are optional, and can be tailored to the individual participant’s goals. In these phases, participants can select the learning opportunities that work best for them, for their club, and for their boxers.
IABA is marking Global Coaches’ Day by celebrating every boxing coach in the association’s over 350 clubs.
There are 2,531 qualified coaches in Irish boxing, of whom 400 are women. Each and every coach plays a pivotal role in the lives of their club’s boxers, and that positive influence includes supporting young boxers, in particular, in personal growth, confidence, and overall well-being.
Entries, through Blocworx, are now being accepted for the 2023 National Senior Championship.
The closing date for entries and fees is 5pm on Friday, September 29th, and the draw will take place on October 3rd.
Bouts will be boxed on the weekend of October 6th to 8th, and October 20th to 22nd.
Venue: National Stadium, Dublin.
