The National Futures Program hit the ground running in February with a eight-day High performance environment Elite emerging camp in Queensland lead by Boxing Australia’s National coach Jamie Pittman. Boxing Australia would like to thank Combat Institute of Australia for funding this opportunity for our emerging athletes.
In the eight days the athletes were well supported by Queensland Academy of Sport and were put through specific track sessions, S and C sessions and recovery sessions.
The athletes have also all benefitted from regular sparring sessions with a range of experienced Queensland based training partners at various locations including the Eastside boxing gym and All Stars boxing gym.
The Futures Program would like to thank the local athletes and gyms that supported the camp.
The State Futures coaches stayed busy in the month of February with four selection camps across Australia. The coaches selected the state’s best performing Junior, Youth and Elite boxers in their state after having made assessments against the selection criteria. Both WA and ACT will hold state Futures selection camps in the first weekend of March.
Boxing Australia’s National coach Jamie Pittman presented a two-day development camp in Tasmania; Hobart on 19-20 February. Both days included training sessions and a coaches committee meeting.
The Futures Program has camps planned for March in WA, ACT, SA, NSW, QLD, VIC, and an open camp in NT.
