Community Coaching Program

Volunteers and Aspiring Coaches play a vital role in many coaching programmes, particularly those involved with kids, youth and adults. Unfortunately, most volunteers and aspiring coaches may not have received formal training to prepare them adequately for the coaching role.

The SBF Community Coaching Program has been developed with the main objective of helping volunteer coaches or aspiring coaches who are currently coaching, to learn the right skills of coaching the sport of boxing. An effective community coach will need a number of skills. Besides knowledge about the sport, he or she will need to know how to relay that knowledge effectively to the athletes.

 

To do this, Community Coaches will have to be able to:

● Recognize the roles and responsibilities of a good coach
● Understand the legal responsibilities, coach safety and protection, and risk management principles
● Prepare a session plan to meet the participants needs and goals
● Safely conduct a coaching session, ensuring fun, learning and maximum participation through games and activities.
● Communicate effectively to build positive relationships with athletes and stakeholders

SBF Referee & Judges Course

As the governing body of the sport of boxing, the Singapore Boxing Federation (SBF) prides itself on investing due care, diligence, and attention into all areas of our development as an organisation. One of those areas is the continued professional development (CPD) of our Referees and Judges, which we achieve by making sure that the correct and complete education of our Technical Officials is maintained by providing them with upto-date changes with the IBA Technical and Competition rules.

Our minds should never be closed to new ideas. Improvements in the rules may well lead to improved conditions for our Boxers and Officials and indeed enhance the level of entertainment we offer to the audience. The criteria to become part of our talented team of R&Js encompasses a broad range of skills and interests, but an appropriate degree of physical fitness, absolute integrity, honesty, and a passion for boxing are seen as essential elements of every Official’s credentials. We believe that a sincere passion and good ethics for the sport will naturally override and transcend any perceived boundaries of nationality and creed and eliminate prejudice in determining our winners and champions.

Our R&Js are an integral part of SBF’s makeup, comprising the lifeblood of boxing; the split- second actions and educated decisions that you make will set the rhythm to which the heart of the sport beats. Boxing is unique in this way and, because of this, we expect and demand a high level of officiating that matches the dedication shown by our Boxers. Our goal is to tutor, train, educate and to place trust in those who represent this vital extension of IBA in the ring and through the right teaching and mentoring, this goal becomes a reality.
