Induction Day for England Youth Talent Squad
March 20, 2019 | by Matt Halfpenny
More than 70 boxers and in excess of 100 parents and coaches attended the England Youth Talent squad induction day on Sunday (17th March).
Held at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield – the headquarters of England Boxing – it was a chance for those who have made it on to this year’s programme to meet the England coaches and hear what is expected of them over the coming months.
The session also gave boxers an opportunity to spar as well as collect new kit, have a publicity picture taken and receive a new Talent Handbook.
Other topics covered in specialised workshops were safeguarding, anti-doping, the code of conduct, social media and nutrition, while there was a Q&A with parents of boxers previously on the programme.
Sparing was split intro three groups depending on weight, with all boxers given the chance to showcase their skills.
Boxers joining the programme do so at three levels based on their ability, progress and achievements to date – Discovery, Challenge and Excel.
