Question
how do i be come a boxing coach so i can step in to the ring i can coach from the out side of the ropes as a volunteer non athlete
I'm guessing by your post that you are already a registered non-athlete member of USA Boxing and have attended the 6-8 hour certification clinic? If this is true, once you are a member and certified you can work a corner at a sanctioned event as a coach. During a bout, any coach must sit down and coach from that position. During the rest period it's usually the main coach who steps in the ring as only one coach can be inside the ring.
