Local Matters - Springboard catches global attention

Springboard catches global attention Springboard’s pilot boxing programme has caught the attention of international sporting organisation Laureus. It has received a grant from the Laureus Sport for Good fund to continue to build up its boxing classes in Snells Beach and at Mahurangi College for at-risk youth. Laureus chairman and former All Black captain, Sean Fitzpatrick, says he has been looking for a project in New Zealand for some time. He believes that boxing can be a powerful mechanism for positive change in a young person’s life. “Boxing is not about scrapping – it teaches discipline and gets kids off the street and into classrooms,” Sean says.
