Hi Joel,

Thanks for the question.
Your niece will need to register as an athlete with USA Boxing. You have Local Boxing Committee in New Mexico, which governs amateur boxing for the entire state. Contact information for your LBC's registration chaiperson is as follows:
Gerri Savedra
Registration Chair
306 2nd St.
Socorro, NM, 87801
Home: (505) 835-4887 Fax: (505) 835-4887

That same information is also available at the USA Boxing website at www.usaboxing.org. Click on "Membership" and follow the links to locate your state.

I hope this helps, Joel.
Thanks again for writing, and Happy Holidays :)

Regards,

Lian
