Sunday the 18^th of May will be Boxing ACT’s first female development camp for 2025.

This camp is ideal for women at beginner to intermediate levels who want to develop their boxing skills in a structured, encouraging, and professionally supervised setting.

This Female Boxing Development Camp is designed to introduce and enhance fundamental boxing skills for women, emphasizing both individual technique and partner work. The camp provides a supportive and inclusive environment where participants can develop their boxing abilities under the guidance of experienced coaches.

It is a great opportunity to throw your gloves into the development pathways, not only with both Boxing ACT, but potential Boxing Australia development camps.

The camp will be held at Farquhar’s boxing gym in Mitchell from 11 am till 1 pm, under the guidance of two newly appointed ACT female development coaches, Lou and Flick.

You are required to be a member of Boxing ACT (or an affiliated member association) to be eligible to participate.

Please bring your gloves, mouthguard, headgear and water.
