What We DO
PAL Mentoring Program
We believe every child is equipped with a unique set of gifts and skillsets that can be optimized best when provided the proper environment, the right amount of challenges and, genuine guidance. With that, each child has their individual set of personal issues and struggles. Whether its social skills, behavioral concerns, or family contentions, Henderson PAL aims to be a vehicle and aid in the journey of personal growth in all aspects of life.
Why Boxing?
The intent of the boxing program is to provide a place where the youth of the
community can go each day and receive proper instruction on life, fitness, and conditioning. We wish to teach the sport of boxing and the science, and the importance of discipline attached to the sport. As we teach the physical and mental aspects of boxing, we also teach the values associated with being a successful person in society. Through their participation in the PAL boxing program our youth will be spending their time and using their energy in a productive manner. The time spent in our gym, and at community events, will supplant time spent in negative or useless behavior on the street.
The Science of Boxing
Boxing is the most democratic sport.
Boxing requires more self sacrifice and discipline that any other sport.
Boxing requires character, thinking on your feet, balance and executing a series of the different punches you have been taught.
Boxing instills a quality of spirit and character in young men and women that no other sport can.
