2011/2012 BOXING CLUBS of BRITISH COLUMBIA

THE BOXING CLUBS OF BC  November 2011: by brian Zelley

There are just over 40 registered boxing clubs as of November 2011
in British Columbia from the Action Boxing Club of Vancouver
to the Williams Lake Boxing Club.  


The clubs are registered with BOXING BC and must follow
the rules and regulations of BOXING CANADA.  Each club
must be under the direction and supervision of a qualified
boxing coach which is required to be tested from time to 
time on their qualifications.  Each coach also has an 
opportunity to take various coaches clinics and achieve
higher standings in order to qualify to be a Provincial
or National coach.


Based on the directory of Boxing BC, there are a few
coaches that have reached coaching  level 3 or higher. S\
Some of the registered coaches that have obtained a level 3
or higher include:
Terry Cooke, George Anglelomatis,  Anthony Stamboulleh,
Garth Rizzuto, Dave Brett, Kevin Howard, Bob Pegues, 
Dale Gatin, Barry Creswell, Bette Ali, Manny sobral,
Wally Doern and Scotty Jackson.


A word of caution, some of the coachs that have not
achieved the level 3 to 5 rankings are still outstanding 
coaches with a lot of experience, but just have not
taken the formal courses and clinics that would
qualify them to coach a National team.
