The 2019 Scottish Boxing season is upon us and the our biggest Scottish Boxing championship – the BSL Novice Championships – are first on the national tournament calendar.
The 2019 Scottish Novice Boxing Championships will take place over the weekends of 9 & 10 and 16 & 17 November 2019 in the Ravenscraig Regional Sports Centre, Motherwell.
Specifically designed for Novice boxers with 0-6 bouts experience, this particular championship is where our progressive athlete pathway begins for all our boxers in terms of Scottish Championship experience. What better way to gain this than to do it in Britain’s biggest boxing tournament where the dreams and journey of future Scottish Boxing heroes begin.
We are always extremely keen to ensure all our Novice boxers have a fantastic experience during this tournament, but understand they may not always get a get a bout.
As a result, and in line with last years’s event, the 2008 and 2007 School age groups have been amalgamated into a category (B) as have the the 2006 and 2005 School age groups into a category (A).
Please note that BSL reserves the right to combine Youth female years of birth in order to encourage competitive bouts. This will be carried out in discussion with the relevant coaches/boxers involved before doing so.

We wish to avoid having to remove any boxer from this year’s event because of undisclosed individual physical combat sport experience. As a result, the BSL individual physical combat guidance document is also attached to the 2019 Novice Entry Forms for information.
For the avoidance of doubt, Boxers proven not to have fully or truthfully disclosed previous Individual Physical Combat Sport experience can and will be withdrawn from the tournament at any time.
Only registered Boxers with a maximum of six (6) competitive bouts experience and no more than three (3) recorded Exhibition bouts can enter the BSL Novice Championships in line with the BSL Club & Domestic Guidelines. Entries will be accepted up to 5pm on Friday 25 October 2019.
