WELCOME TO DERBY CITY BOXING ACADEMY, STOCKBROOK STREET, DERBY, DE22 3WH
Derby City Boxing Academy was founded in February 2009 by Midlands A.B.A. coach Alex Neave. The club itself is in a prime location for the younger society with its main aim being to promote boxing and provide a facility for those whom participate, helping them become responsible citizens and respecting their local community.
Our goal is to provide fair guidance and support to all, regardless of race, disability or gender. The club is affiliated to the Amateur Boxing Association of England (A.B.A.), which has set guidelines that all club members must follow. Amateur boxing is recognised worldwide as a contact sport, teaching the techniques and skills required to become an Amateur boxer under qualified instruction and supervision. Having inherited the desire to engage in combat from the beginning of man-kind, boxing enables individuals to release built up aggression, and provides a release from the every-day stresses life brings
Derby City Boxing Academy prides itself on the environment it operates which is based on camaraderie and encouragement between all members. Our first priority is the well-being of our boxers and their development as individuals. Our members come from many different cultural backgrounds, both male and female and the club aims to build self-esteem, confidence, improved communication skills, respect, self-discipline and life skills. CLASSES

I have been coaching for about thirty years at various clubs and now have settled at Derby City boxing Academy. I head up the East Midlands Female squads at our club. Anyone who wants to box or just wants to keep fit is most welcome. We have a great set of young people at our club and a great coaching team. Amateur boxing is unique. With the right guidance you learn the sport but you are also given direction as an individual too. People need to be part of something to develop them as a person. To see a positive change in a person through teaching them boxing and self-discipline makes our job as coaches very rewarding. Thank you for taking the time to visit our page and we look forward to seeing you at the club very soon.
