Boxing Team for Quakertown High School
Why this petition matters
Boxing will be a great asset to the Quakertown Community School District. As we've seen these past couple months, these kids need an outlet for their anger, without an outlet we see fighting without rules, safety gear, supervision, and without proper training, which provides a danger to themselves and those around them.
With boxing you will see:
1) Kids being able to defend themselves if they choose to take on the sport.
2) Boxing improves self esteem, decreases depression and anxiety, and a good stress reliever for students.

3) Those who want to go professionally in the Martial Arts will be able to get some training and a career opportunity early on.

Keeping our kids safe during boxing:
During bouts they will wear protective gear such as head gear, and mouth guards to prevent any serious injuries.
During training a body protector will be added to the mix of essentials.
