YOUTH BOXING
EIR aims to introduce amateur boxing to the New Haven area youth, encouraging participation in sports, health and wellness among the areas youth, boys and girls alike. Based in Newhallville, we will support youth in the surrounding areas and across the City including Fair Haven, West River, Kensington Square, Edgewood Ave, and Newhallville communities. We aspire to integrate youth from across the city; building relationships and erasing the territorial lines upheld by youth in the City that too often perpetuate violence. Our goal is to encourage our children and youth to live healthier and more focused lives.
The United States Boxing Association will serve as a platform so that our program will foster sportsmanship, confidence, discipline, and teamwork. Participants in the Boxing program learn self-discipline, how to resolve conflict without resorting to violence, how to build and sustain meaningful relationships. This program also supports building self-esteem amongst youth, strengthening their social, emotional, and behavioral health. We use boxing to build character and positive social development among the children in the New Haven area. This extra low cost boxing club will provide tremendous unmatched form of exercise, build self-confidence, improve healthy living of the participants and encourage education with boxing as the basis. We can expect improved muscle tone, weight loss, and improved cardiovascular function. Our program provides an alternative to gangs and the street life.
