ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

Progressive Accreditation Learning

Welcome to the Student-Boxing Athlete Development System – ADS, a progressive accreditation system for learning and developing Olympic boxers safely and effectively. The System is based on Sport Canada’s Long-Term Athlete Development model. The System has two stages: Prerequisite to Competition and Enter Competition:

  • PREREQUISITE TO COMPETITION

    Prerequisite to Competition is the the stage designed to teach grassroots boxers everything they need to know before they can be allowed to enter competition. After completing the Prerequisite to Competition stage, the grassroots boxer would be granted approval to enter competition, where they will compete safely and effectively.

    WHITE GLOVE:

    • Non-contact introduction to basic skills (learn to box)
    • Controlled introduction to sparring (learn-train to box)
    • Technical developmental sparring (learn-train to box)
    • Introduction to competition (learn-train to compete)
  • ENTER COMPETITION

    This stage recognizes the grassroots boxer as a successfully trained athlete ready to enter competition according to the Athlete Development System. The progressive levels in the Competition stage are as follows:

    NOVICE I CLASS:

    • Novice I boxers have zero (0) to two (2) sanctioned Olympic boxing bouts; this category is also known as “Sub-Novice”.
