YGK Boxing Kids Programs
Our kids program is led by Boxing Ontario Level 2 Certified Coaches with years of competitive boxing experience across Canada and the United States. With a strong foundation in both technical skill and real in-ring knowledge, our coaches are passionate about teaching the next generation of boxers.
Classes are designed to be safe, fun, and challenging, helping kids build confidence, improve fitness, and learn the core values of boxing: discipline, respect, and perseverance. Whether your child is trying boxing for the first time or looking to sharpen their skills, they'll be supported by coaches who understand how to bring out the best in every young athlete.
Mondays & Thursdays | 4:30 PM – 5:45 PM
This one-hour class is perfect for kids aged 7 to 12 who are ready to move, sweat, and grow. Each session combines fitness, boxing technique, and team-based fun:
30–40 minutes of structured boxing workouts:
- Endurance training
- Boxing fundamentals (stance, punches, footwork)
- Skipping, bag work, and movement drills
- Overall health and fitness development
20–30 minutes of fun and skill-building activities:
- Teamwork games
- Confidence-building exercises
- Rope climbing and rock wall
- Positive encouragement and group bonding
At YGK Boxing, sparring is not required but we do offer a clear path for kids who express an interest in it.
We only allow kids to begin sparring when they are truly ready which means:
- They have been training consistently
- They demonstrate a strong understanding of the fundamentals
- They have shown that they listen to their coaches and respect the rules of the gym
Every child progresses at their own pace. Some may pick things up quickly and be encouraged to start light sparring, while others may need more time to develop confidence and skills.
No child is rushed, our coaches will work closely with each individual to ensure they’re prepared both mentally and physically before stepping into sparring.
The safety, confidence, and well-being of our young boxers always come first.
