Celebrating 25 Years
A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:
FIT FOR LIFE!
we are far more than a boxing club - we are a valuable Community Hub, helping to support & develop all in the community to be Fit4Life in so many ways.
Rawthorpe Amateur Boxing Club (RABC) was founded on 31st October 1998, delivering fitness & boxing training at Rawthorpe High School for young people in the community; this not only teaches them the art of boxing but also teaches them the disciplines of life and how to respect themselves & others, giving youngsters the vital support that is sometimes missing from their lives.
The club is run entirely on a voluntary basis and offers many different types of coaching sessions, often for children who who otherwise may fall into bad habits and bad company; thus providing them with a true sense of community, a sense of belonging and learning to respect themselves and others.
A key focus of RABC is community cohesion within the estates around the area, as well as travelling to areas where our boxers compete around the county.
We do a lot of important work with all within our community and deliver to schools and colleges, offering a wide range of initiatives to help support students.
We are now based in a 3-storey mill at Bridge Croft, Milnsbridge. A purpose built facility to support the community, and we are thrilled to be celebrating our 25th year during 2023.
Date for your diary! RABC Boxing Club, will be holding a 25 years Anniversary Celebration on Saturday the 28th October from 6pm at our premises. Full details will follow over the next few weeks.
