Question
My son is 12 years old and wanting to box. His dad was a pro boxer for many, many years but has lost his contacts since he hasn't fought in 13 years. Anyway, my husband wants to train him and he knows we have to get the KY coaches application and KY amateur boxing application. Was told to go to USAboxing.org but cant find the application site. Do you have any contacts in KY? Can you help so we can get our son started?
Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com and I'll give you a contact for KY. There are yearly membership fees (January through December) for athletes and non-athletes. You'll need a copy of your son's birth certificate and two passport-type pictures. Your husband will need to clear a background check and attend a 6-8 hour certification clinic.
