2025 Boxing Nationals — Elite Team

Fundamentals First.
Ring Time Earned.

Athletics and Beyond's boxing program is an amateur boxing program for students who want to keep fit, learn boxing as a skill, for self-defense, or participate in amateur bouts. The initial focus is foundation training that teaches the fundamentals and the drills that cut the learning curve in half. From there you will learn boxing basics including correct stance, standard punching combinations, and essential defensive/offensive techniques — followed by correct foot and hand placement, basic footwork and combinations, and how to move in the ring while throwing punches.

01

Foundation training & correct stance

Building balance, guard position and body mechanics from the ground up.

02

Standard punching combinations

Jab, cross, hook and uppercut drilled into repeatable combos.

03

Defense, footwork & foot/hand placement

Slips, blocks and pivots paired with proper stance discipline.

04

Moving in the ring & amateur bouts

Ring generalship and controlled sparring toward first amateur fights.

DISCIPLINE FIRST

FUNDAMENTALS BEFORE FIGHTS

Footwork, defense, and conditioning are earned before an athlete ever steps into competition.

"I have learned so much about football and how to be a better man. A&B — TCO — helped my love of football grow and helped me to navigate through my freshman year of high school."

Micaiah Davison-Tracy, TCO Athlete

This is far more than a "club team”. Did my son’s football skills increase? YES! But what I am most impressed by is that I was able to witness a group of dedicated coaches and leaders who care for the present and future of any and every kid who walks in their doors. It has been a JOY and HONOR to be welcomed into the A&B family.

Sarah Davison-Tracy

"Being apart of A&B has helped me change and make me grow as a football player in a lot of ways. Not only has my team, my coaches, and parents taught me what it truly means to be a leader."
