Fight Sports Scholarship Programme

Aim

We are committed to supporting young people living in Worcestershire to help them lead fulfilling and healthy lives away from crime.

The Fight Sports Scholarship Programme is a community enterprise committed to supporting young people living in Worcestershire, providing access to boxing and MMA training to help them lead fulfilling and healthy lives away from crime.

We believe that, through the discipline needed to progress in our sport, we can provide young people with the opportunity to channel their energy and frustrations in a more constructive and positive way. Helping to build young people’s physical fitness and mental well being as well as helping to create stronger communities.

This unique project provides students with the opportunity to combine academic studies with a full-time MMA or Boxing training schedule, progressing them into four exciting industry pathways: Professional Athlete, University, Coaching and Industry Specific Roles (ie. judge, referee, media etc).

This is a not-for-profit community project based in Bromsgrove, giving coaching, mentorship and guidance to 14 to 19-year-olds and the opportunity of a great career ahead of them by the time they graduate from the Scholarship Programme

The concept is to help young people focus on the positivity of a sport they can excel at, and to avoid the pitfalls of peer pressure, crime, gang culture etc.

The coaching system is designed to improve fitness, technical ability and ringcraft along with mental wellness & confidence levels in the young athletes.

Funding will help us to help more young people in Worcestershire to have a more positive role in their community and to find employment with great prospects.
