Scholarships
INDIGENOUS BOXERS
Closing date: 15 November 2006
Region: Australia - National
The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) is looking to identify about 30
Indigenous boxers from around Australia to be brought in for a camp
(possibly in late Nov but more likely to be in the new year) where they
would be put through some training and assessments with the view to
offering 6 with AIS Scholarships and the next best to be linked to NSW
and QLD Boxing Centres of Excellence (locations to be determined).
Ideally the boxers need to be 16-18 years who are capable of boxing in
heavier weight classes (>60kg) and have had some success in junior
state/national competitions. The longer term focus is to train these
boxers so they would be ready to compete in London for the Olympic Games
in 2012
