Youth Program Q&A

 

Q: What equipment does my child need to get started?

A: Your child will need gloves, hand wraps and a mouth piece for partner drills. We sell boxing gloves and hand wraps, mouth pieces can be purchased online or at any sporting goods store! 

Q: I’d love for my child to learn how to box, but I’m worried about injuries! What do you do to prevent injuries? What about head trauma?

A: At PSE we pride ourselves on our commitment to safety. In 8 years of running our classes, we have yet to have one injury or accident take place during training. Although your child will learn proper defense and engage in partner drills, they will only be sparring with their coaches (once they are ready)  and the sparring is controlled to the point where your child will never receive actual blows to the head. The level of contact is similar to that of “tag” - your child’s coaches will throw light tapping punches to help your child improve their defense - resulting in proper fundamentals being taught without any injuries or trauma to the body 

Q: I can’t make the debut class! Can I sign up anytime? 

A: Yes! Join us anytime. 

Q: My child has no experience boxing, is that ok? 

A: Absolutely! Most of our students stay off with 0 experience, we pride ourselves on being able to coach students from the ground up. 

Q: What age group are these classes for?

A: This program is for children ages 6-12! Our adult program starts at 13 & up, so kids that age or older are welcome to join our adult classes! 

Q: I would like my child to try the class first before signing up, what do you suggest? 

A: We’d love for you to try a class! Simply book a drop in class and put in the code “NEWMEM” at checkout to try your first class for only $15

Q: My child is interested in the program but our schedule doesn’t allow for them to take the classes regularly, what do you suggest?

A:  You can book a drop in class anytime for $35/class! We also have 10 packs of drop ins available for $300 for those who want to drop in from time to time.
