New 2021-22 season begins on Tuesday (1st June)
May 30, 2021 | by Matt Halfpenny
England Boxing is looking forward to welcoming all clubs, members and volunteers to the 2021-22 season, which begins on Tuesday 1st June 2021.
The last 14 months have been like no other for not only our sport, but for the whole world.
With things slowly reopening, and the gradual lifting of government restrictions, we hope this will enable amateur boxing to thrive once more, with a raft of competitions planned either side of the new year.
Clubs and individual members are encouraged to register as soon as possible on The Vault when the new season starts on Tuesday, ensuring that all are affiliated ready for the new season.
In order to recognise those who Clubs and Members who have joined during the 2020-21 season to date – and the fact that there has been limited opportunity to fully utilise that membership – England Boxing has factored that support into its thinking.
Please see below a table which outlines membership registration details which have taken into account the impact of Covid-19.
