The Awards are broken down into 6 levels:-

Non Contact - Preliminary Award - Standard Award - Bronze Award

Semi Contact - Silver Award - Gold Award - Platinum Award

The first 3 Awards (Preliminary, Standard and Bronze) are all non-contact and can be used in Boxing Clubs for new members and also any non-specialist facility such as a community hall or school gym. The non contact part of the awards may be taught by stand alone GB Boxing Tutor (School Teacher, Youth worker, Sports Development Officers). As these cover the basics of boxing.

The remaining 3 Awards (Silver, Gold and Platinum) Awards involve technique development in modified conditioned sparring and need to be coached in a boxing club with a boxing ring and qualified ABA coach.

The Platinum Award which takes the boxer into the boxing ring at a boxing show, this involves a skills bout where the boxer will get the opportunity to experience of what it is like to enter a boxing ring at a boxing show, more importantly the boxer will have the opportunity to demonstrate the skills, fitness and ability in a boxing arena which they have learnt whilst at the same time, completing all 6 of the GB National Boxing Awards.

Now with the GB National Boxing Awards we will have the opportunity to pass on the benefits from amateur boxing training with out the hurting or being hurt and to provide a healthy channel for youthful energy and natural aggression.

The GB National Boxing Awards provides all participants the opportunity not only to learn a new activity/sport but also develop educationally, as the ABA National Boxing Awards gain credits towards the ABA of England National Boxing Educational Qualification (ASDAN Certificate of Personnel Effectiveness CoPE level 2 which is equivalent to GCSE Grade B).

The GB National Boxing Awards are very flexible and can be delivered in PE Curriculum time, the extended schools package (governments 5 hour offer) or is ideal for a School Holiday Programme.
