The aim of ABSs one day tutor course, which was held at the Whiteinch Centre in Glasgow, was to qualify participants to deliver and organise the G.B. national boxing awards in schools, colleges, sports centres, youth clubs, universities, and to boxing clubs.
This course the first of its kind in Scotland was well attended with nineteen participants qualifying to deliver this type of non-contact boxing coaching. The course was presented by Quinton Shillingford, the Managing Director of Boxing Awards Ltd.
The outline of the course was:
The benefit from physical exercise
– The warm up
– The boxing stance
– Healthy lifestyle
– Fun while training
– History of boxing
– Pad work
– Healthy diet.
The group who did this course, all came from different backgrounds and included teachers, youth workers, development workers, and of course boxing coaches.
Everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the course and the way in which it was presented. If there is enough demand ABS would like to repeat this sometime in the very near future. Anyone interested should contact Willie Burns who will advise when ABS is likely to repeat this coaching programme.
