Answer
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the question.

To register with USA boxing, go to the following link and find your geographic area: http://www.usaboxing.org/90.htm

Once you find it, note the name of the local boxing committee (LBC...yours will be named something like Gulf Association, I think), and if there is not already a contact person provided there, then go to: http://www.usaboxing.org/10_1578.htm find the LBC name and contact the person listed there.
Your registration from your home LBC will be good in California as well. Just don't forget to bring the passbook you will be given when you regsiter!!

I hope this helps, Daniel.
Thanks again for writing!

Regards,
Lian
