Information about College Rifles Boxing
Discover the rich heritage and vibrant spirit of College Rifles, a cornerstone of Auckland’s sports community since 1897. While renowned for its prestigious rugby program, the club offers a diverse range of athletic opportunities for all ages and skill levels. Embracing the motto "Serving our community by being the home of New Zealand's Premier Rugby and Sports Club," College Rifles provides an inclusive environment where tradition meets modern fitness.
At the heart of the boxing program is professional boxer and former NZ & Australasian Cruiserweight Champion, Joshua 'Chucky' Francis. Located conveniently behind the tennis courts, the boxing section caters to everyone from aspiring fighters to fitness enthusiasts. Participants can engage in comprehensive training for both amateur and corporate competition, or opt for personalized 1-on-1 private sessions tailored to individual fitness goals.
A standout feature of the club is "Confident Kids," an age-appropriate physical training program designed not just to teach boxing techniques, but to build resilience, grit, and social skills in children. By periodically stretching kids out of their comfort zones in a safe, fun environment, the program fosters confidence and personal growth. Whether you are looking to compete at a high level or simply get fit in a supportive community, College Rifles offers the perfect platform.
The club boasts exceptional facilities, including a newly renovated bar and clubrooms that welcome the public, a professional gym partnership with Genesis Fitness, and dedicated physiotherapy services. From senior touch and rugby to juniors’ holiday programs and other sports like netball and pickleball, College Rifles is more than just a gym—it is a lifelong home for athletes.
