Boxing for Kids in Basingstoke — The Complete Guide for Ages 5 to 16

Boxing for Kids in Basingstoke

At Basingstoke Boxing Classes, we welcome children from age 5 right through to 16 in our dedicated junior programmes. Here's a complete guide for parents.

Two Age Groups — What's the Difference?

Juniors Boxing (Ages 5–10)

Our youngest members develop coordination, listening skills, basic boxing techniques, and confidence in a fun, age-appropriate environment. No pressure — just positive development through sport.

Timetable:

• Monday: 5:00pm
• Wednesday: 4:00pm
• Thursday: 5:00pm
• Friday: 5:00pm (Mixed-Kids)

Pricing: Bronze £40/month (2x/week), Silver £55/month (4x/week), Gold £70/month (unlimited)

Youth Boxing (Ages 11–16)

Teenagers train more seriously — developing real boxing skills, sparring (optional), competition opportunities, and the character-building benefits of pushing through challenge.

Timetable:

• Monday: 6:00pm
• Wednesday: 5:00pm
• Thursday: 6:00pm

Pricing: Same structure as juniors — Bronze/Silver/Gold tiers.

What Your Child Actually Gets from Boxing Training

The Obvious Benefits

• Physical fitness, coordination, strength
• Cardiovascular health
• Healthy weight management

The Less Obvious — But More Important — Benefits

• Confidence earned through overcoming real challenges
• Discipline — following instructions, showing up, working hard
• Emotional regulation — channelling energy and frustration positively
• Resilience — learning that hard things can be worked through
• Respect — for coaches, training partners, opponents
• Focus — boxing demands concentration, which transfers to school

Parents consistently report:

"My child actually looks forward to going." "Their behaviour at school has improved." "They've come out of their shell completely."

Safety — The Question Every Parent Asks

Our junior classes prioritise safety above everything else:

• Experienced coaches at all times
• Age-appropriate equipment and training
• Sparring is always optional and fully supervised
• Headguards and full protective equipment for all contact
• Clear no-tolerance policy for bullying or aggression

First Class is Free

Bring your child for a free trial — no commitment required. You're welcome to watch.
