• The Program

    The Youth Boxing Program is a membership-based program for kids ages 6 to 18 to learn the skill and art of boxing. We do not teach kids to fight, we teach the values of hard work, being disciplined, and how to move our bodies effectively and efficiently.

  • Membership

    Boxers fight alone in the ring. But it takes a coach and support team to bring that boxer there. As a Youth Boxing Club, we train kids in boxing, but teach that club members are a community, that we have more in common than we are different, and that all are welcome and appreciated.

  • ADK Youth Boxing Program

    ADK Boxing Youth Program is part of ADK Boxing & Fitness, LLC, a small family-owned business. Coach Greg is a Certified Silver Level Boxing Coach with USA Boxing - the governing body for amateur Olympic-style boxing. Youth Program members are also part of the ADK Boxing Club.

Youth Boxing Club FAQ:

  • It is a membership-based, under-18 club dedicated to helping local youth learn the sport of Boxing. We are not an after school program and or a day care center.

  • Boxing is a multidisciplinary sport, that is by most accounts one of the most difficult to master. To be good requires discipline, it requires awareness of your body, how and why it moves the way it does, and being present in the moment.

  • Concussions are rare in Youth Boxing, less so than football, soccer, basketball, hockey, etc. because of the protections put in place; protective equipment, sparring safeguards, and safe training techniques.

  • Coach Greg is a Silver Level Boxing Coach with USA Boxing; which is the governing body for all amateur, Olympic-style boxing. He has 16 years experience in boxing training, and has been a USA Boxing coach since 2017. He also has a Master’s Degree in Fitness & Wellness and previous work includes, juvenile probation, social work and youth residential treatment.

  • Olympic-style boxing, because it is an amateur sport, is primarily about scoring points to win a bout rather than winning via knockdown or knock out. Since scoring points is the primary goal, Olympic-style boxing is about form and good technique, about strategy and grace versus brutality.

  • Youth Boxing is at the our new space in Lake Placid - 2049 Saranac Ave. (above the Euro MiniMart) - on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00 to 5:30, and Saturdays from 10:30 to 11:30.

  • The Youth Boxing Club is a membership-based program and is $75/month and requires at least a 3-month membership. Youth will also be required to have a USA Boxing membership.

  • Individual lessons are for those members who want to increase their skill level beyond what they can learn in a class setting, or who are interested in competition. Individual lessons for Club Members are $45 per session.

  • Competition takes time, discipline, effort and achieving a certain skill level - which is determined by the Coach. It will also take money: USAB-approved equipment, lessons, and travel expenses. If you decide to compete, we will sit down and come up with a training schedule and a budget.

  • To sign up, simply go to the Sign Up Now button on the home page and fill out the membership form. All boxing club members must also have a member-athlete membership with USA Boxing.
