Boxing/Starting a boxing club

Question
We live in a very small town in East Texas. I know my three teen and young adult sons love to box and have a lot of aggression they need to work out; their sister was murdered last year. How do I go about getting someone here to help these young men out?
Patricia, I suggest you try and get these boys enrolled in the golden gloves. The GG is there for developing youngsters into fine young men using boxing as the vehicle. Most kids who come in just need some attention and they will ultimately learn work ethic, sportsmanship, discipline and the rewards the go with it.
Go to usaboxing.org and click on members. Scroll down to Texas and find the association nearest you. Contact them and ask them about getting your boys involved.
Best of luck,
Jackson

Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
