National Team Program

INTRODUCTION

It is very important that the athletes and their coaches understand that Boxing Canada is under no obligation to send a complete team to international events. Winning the National Championships does not give an athlete the automatic right to represent Canada.

The athlete must earn that right through a commitment to the training and competitive programs leading up to each and demonstrated ability to be competitive at the programs leading up to each event and demonstrated ability to be competitive at the international level as determined by Boxing Canada. Training camps and scheduled competitions are necessary part of the preparation program and are, therefore, mandatory. Non-compliance with the specified program will result in removal from the National Team.
