Motivational Boxercise

The YDP Cambridge Boxercise programme is currently being delivered in a large number of primary and secondary schools, as well as pupil referral units and alternative provision hubs.

Initially, it gives young people the opportunity to gain a bronze, silver and gold award in Boxercise. However, some pupils will go on to achieve a young leader's award which enables them to assist YDP Cambridge coaches in delivering the sessions. Since launching, we have had a number of students join the YDP coaching team after participating in this scheme.

What to expect from a Motivational Boxercise session?

• Non-contact exercise based on Boxing training. 

• Learn a variety of punches and defence techniques, incorporated with physical activity. 

• Students taught discipline and respect, and encouraged to make positive choices inside and outside of school.

• Improves fitness, as well as boosting confidence and self-esteem. 

• Enables an outlet for young people to release stress and allows them to focus on something positive. 

• These sessions are suitable for ALL students, but can be particularly beneficial to those with low self-esteem, lacking motivation or are disruptive in lessons.
