Both boys and girls participate in PAL’s boxing program, which requires the youth to bring in a copy of their report card each quarter. Those with failing grades aren’t allowed to compete. The youth aren’t required to compete and can simply visit the center to work out and hone their boxing skills. Each year on average, 30 youth participate in the boxing program.
