Boxing Australia (BA) is the governing body for the sport of amateur boxing in Australia. The BA trains and looks after Australia's Olympic boxing representatives. All around Australia, the development of boxing is in the hands of the BA. The Australian Sports Commission (ASC), Australian Olympic Committee (AOC), the Australian Commonwealth Games Association (ACGA), and the International Boxing Association (AIBA) have recognised that Boxing Australia is the National Sporting Organisation for boxing.
The body was founded in 1924 as the Boxing Union of Australia. In 1990s, the body took its current name of Boxing Australia.
A critical component of Boxing Australia’s core business are our development programs and areas. This is the grass-roots of our sport. Development plays a vital role in encouraging participants to learn and enjoy boxing.
Regardless of a participants gender, age or experience there is always a role to play in our sport. The roles can vary from being an active competitor in either competition boxing or our low-contact participation program Box’Tag. If competing doesn’t take your fancy, there are other voluntary and official roles.
Officiating is one way to be close to the action. Refereeing & Judging is a great way to become intimate with boxing. You will become an expert on the rules and always have the best seat in the house. Like the boxers, Referees & Judges also have a pathway to international success.
Most actively volunteers become hobby coaches. The reward and enjoyment of being able to develop a bond and teach an athlete new skills is unmatched. Trainers coaches boxers for a variety of reasons and this is reflected in their philosophy (to win, to learn, to develop social skills). Regardless of what your philosophy is, there will always be a coaching position for you in boxing.
Regardless of what your interest and skill-set in boxing is, there will always be an active role for you to play. For more information contact your local Member Association.
High Performance is a concept within sport that is highly focused on a group of individuals or teams with the aim of achieving individual and overall goals to achieve success against our competition.
