Question
I've been boxing since I was 14 years old I'm know 33 what are the requirments for training people and becoming a coach? I'm in the state of Ga is getting a license from the Georgia boxing commision enough. Do I need any documentation to register with USA Boxing.

Answer
Hi John - Once you are registered with USA Boxing in Georgia, you will have to attend a 6-8 hour certification clinic (and every 24 months after that).  You won't need any documentation to register.  Please email me at mel@amateurboxing.com and I will send you a contact.  Just remind me you're interested in being a coach in Georgia.
