Ariel showed up after another long absence. She's the third kid who has been missing from the gym due to school. She wants to compete in the City-Wide Tournament which will take place during spring break in April. I know the weigh-ins are later this month, and I need to find out those dates.
I also need to find sparring for her, since none of the other teens have been coming to class. It's going to be a challenge to find girls at the other park district gyms who are Ariel's age, height, and weight. It's going to be a challenge to find girls at all. Not every park district boxing gym has girls.
I proposed to have the adult boxing class put back on the schedule beginning this summer. Most adults who keep telling me "I just want to hit the bags", don't want to participate in a formal class. The class has to be marketed to those who may have prior boxing experience but don't want a coach standing over them. They need to be given the feeling of being in an open gym, even though the park district does not run open gyms. However, the adults still have to pay for the class whether they want me to coach them or not.
