Cincinnati High School Boxing

The Cincinnati High School Boxing Team (CHB), one of only two official high school boxing programs in the country, was established in 1996 at Moeller High School but is now run independently of Moeller and is open to students from any school in the Cincinnati area. Our objective is to provide a safe and organized forum to learn Olympic-style amateur boxing. In prior years, CHB has had boxers win amateur tournaments such as the Regional Golden Gloves competition and compete in National Golden Gloves and the Junior Olympics. Amateur boxing is much safer than professional boxing due to the specific rules (emphasizing points rather than damage), fewer & shorter rounds and the use of headgear. In an average season the team consists of 25-35 athletes from approximately 15 area schools. Boxers train alongside the University of Cincinnati Boxing Club and compete based on age, weight, skill & experience. Training includes strength & conditioning, boxing technique and sparring. Safety is our primary concern and coaches are present for all training sessions.
