ABS Cashback Co-ordinator Craig McEvoy provides his latest ABS Cashback Amateur Boxing Academy update;
I have now visited a total of eight clubs participating in the Cashback Amateur Boxing Academy as we reach the end of the second week of the initiative. Western District Clubs visited thus far are Linwood ABC, Greenock ABC, Argo ABC, Duries ABC and the Barn ABC, along with the Northern District Clubs Peterhead ABC, Lochaber Pheonix and Nether Lochaber ABC.
ABS is delighted to report that higher than expected numbers of young people, aged between 10 and 19 years old, have walked through the doors of their local amateur boxing club to take part in the sport for the first time.
Young people from all walks of life are now embracing and enjoying the free activities being provided through our boxing clubs, which in turn is helping to dispell some of the myths associated with boxing clubs prior to the launch of the Amateur Boxing Academy.
We also welcome Irvine Vineburgh into the Cashabck fold, who look set to be opening their doors to the potential starts of the future in the next week.
A big well done to all those involved thus far – keep up the good work!
A selection of images from sessions this week held in Lochaber Phoenix ABC, Nether Lochaber ABC and Peterhead ABC can be viewed below.
