| Introducing Amateur Boxing |
| Amateur boxing is a very positive sport as well as a terrific way to combat juvenile delinquency. It is completely different from professional boxing in its goals, objectives, scoring, and equipment. Amateur boxing provides a young person with the opportunity to satisfy the basic human need of recognition in a positive manner. All too often, this need is met through bad behavior. In the amateurs, points are scored by landing clean blows, regardless of their power. A power punch that knocks an opponent down scores the same as a left jab. |

| When properly coached and supervised, amateur boxing can be an extremely fulfilling and beneficial experience for young people. It can be used as a vehicle to instruct sportsmanship, the value of conditioning and a positive release of frustrations and energies, in addition to building self-confidence and character. |
| Amateur Boxing Safety |
| The safety of amateur boxing has been well documented. As recently as 1998, the National Safety Council ranked boxing 71st in sports injuries. Most of the negative publicity about this sport centers around professional boxing, when, in fact professional boxing is much different than amateur boxing. No other amateur sport takes more precautions, in regard to safety, than amateur boxing. Amateur fighters must receive a physical before and after each boxing match. Also, special protective equipment, including headgear, is mandatory for all sanctioned amateur boxing contests. |
