USA Boxing Collaborates with NXT Round, Golden Gloves VR to Develop National Adaptive Boxing Program
by USA Boxing
USA Boxing is collaborating with NXT Round to help develop a national adaptive boxing program that expands access to the sport for disabled veterans across the United States.
This program is designed to create structured, safe, and competitive opportunities for veterans with disabilities to train, compete, and benefit from the physical and mental health advantages boxing provides. This program will allow non-contact boxing using Golden Gloves VR as a platform and will also provide additional resources for physical adaptive boxing.
Coaches across the country are being asked to support the initiative by signing a national petition as well as taking USA Boxing’s survey. Organizers are seeking unified backing from the USA Boxing coaching community to advance the program’s development and implementation.
We respectfully ask you to sign this petition and to take this survey to demonstrate unified support within the USA Boxing coaching community for the development and rollout of this program.
In addition to signing the petition, if any coach is interested in getting your gym involved in the pilot rollout, please indicate so on the petition form when prompted.
USA Boxing was established to promote and grow Olympic-style boxing in the United States and to inspire the tireless pursuit of Olympic gold and enable athletes and coaches to achieve sustained competitive excellence. Additionally, USA Boxing endeavors to teach all participants the character, confidence and focus they need to become resilient and diverse champions, both in and out of the ring. USA Boxing is one team, one nation, going for gold!
