PACT has been running boys' boxing since 2008 and seen many boys taking part grow in their discipline and their purpose.
Boxing teaches resilience and discipline in a supportive team environment. It provides a safe space for rangatahi and a sense of community and belonging. While each of our rangatahi has had different experiences in life, at PACT Boxing they learn shared values and how to respect their coaches and peers. We then encourage them to take those same values into their home and school life.
BGYF Champions Programme
As a Billy Graham Youth Foundation Affiliate, we will be running the Champion Begin Programme. The programme is based upon non-contact/semi-contact skill development along with conditioning grounded in the fundamentals of movement, balance, coordination, and overall physical/motor-skill development – particularly as they relate to boxing skills.
The programme is designed to provide a natural developmental pathway for any individual wanting to progress to competitive boxing.
Youth Development
Our youth workers take PACT Boxing. They are trained and experienced at working with young people. Through the PACT Boxing they will role model and teach values around respect, self-discipline, goal setting and positive decision making. They will build relationship with the rangatahi and their whānau (when possible) and offer additional support when needed. PACT Boxing provides a safe place where at-risk rangatahi find a place to belong and improve their self-belief and resilience.
Classes
PACT Boxing will be offering the following boxing classes. Please contact us for more information and timetables.
Intermediate and High School boys Monday after school (and advanced class on a Wednesday morning).
