In Her Corner: Empowering Girls and Women Through Boxing 

Support Rathcoole Boxing Club’s Female-Only Programme

 Rathcoole Boxing Club has been at the heart of our community for decades, providing a safe, welcoming space for young people and adults to learn, grow, and thrive through boxing. Our club isn’t just about sport, it’s about building confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.

Now, we’re launching an exciting new initiative: a female-only introduction to boxing programme. This programme is designed to give women and girls of all ages a supportive environment to try boxing, improve their fitness, develop self-confidence, and connect with others in the community. Whether you’ve never picked up gloves before or are curious about the sport, this programme is for you.

We are crowdfunding because we want to make this opportunity accessible to everyone, regardless of financial situation. Your support will help us cover the costs of coaching, equipment, venue hire, and safety gear, ensuring that participants can take part without barriers.
