Relaunched in 2008, SFPAL Boxing is being spearheaded by four San Francisco police officers at the Bayview YMCA. The program, currently serving 10 youth, is growing as a model for increasing our partnership with current SFPD officers.

Boxing is about learning discipline, skills, sportsmanship, ring etiquette, rules, vocabulary, physical fitness, and health and fitness awareness.

SFPAL is affiliated with USA Boxing, the national governing body recognized by the United States Olympic Committee. USA Boxing is responsible for the administration, development and promotion of Olympic-style boxing in the United States.

Each SFPAL coach is USA Boxing certified and each player who signs up with SFPAL is also registered with USA Boxing.
