The Police Community Clubs of Great Britain is proud to announce that the Contender Am-Box youth boxing programme is now 'live' and being delivered across the country.

This exciting amateur boxing programme is a partnership initiative between the Police Community Clubs of Great Britain and the Amateur Boxing Association of England (ABAE), and in preparation for its nationwide launch Contender Am-Box was successfully piloted by the Metropolitan Police in sixty schools across London.

The aim of the programme is to provide students with a clear pathway to fitness, good health, awareness of vital citizenship issues and access to their local boxing clubs. This programme of non-contact boxing instruction introduces fitness and self-defence techniques, dietary advice, and education around issues such as bullying and anti-social behaviour, with additional health and citizenship inputs. But best of all, it's fun!

The programme provides qualified and experienced coaches, safe venues with excellent facilities and a direct interface between young people and local police officers.

To deliver Contender Am-Box you need to be a qualified ABAE coach (Level 1 – Assistant Coach or above) and in a position to work with local police officers such as PCSOs, School Liaison Officers .
