ULSC gets Boxing Gym
The Unity Lancaster Sports Club (ULSC) has scored a first on the lower East Coast of Demerara, following the staging of its first coaching session in boxing for youths in the area.
The launch of the Boxing Gym was initiated by the club and has the backing of the Guyana Boxing Association. More than 20 youths attended the first session, which was conducted by National Coach Wincel Thomas with assistance from former national boxer, Michael DeMattos.
National Coach Wincel Thomas shows how it is done to one of the aspiring boxers, while other members of the ULSC share the moment.
According to a release from the club, the introduction of Boxing is intended to get the attention of the other youths of the area who are not part of the ULSC’s cricket programme.
The release added, “Very shortly the club also intends to introduce Karate or Judo to its programme of activities.
The ULSC is hoping to stage a Boxing card at its home venue in about two months’ time. This will be an open air event which will involve other Gyms and national boxers. It is the club’s hope that a home grown fighter will be included in the first card.
Recently the ULSC held its first Cricket Academy from which a group of 30 youngsters were selected for special training at the under-15 and under-19 levels.
