Boxing Northern Territory Incorporated have developed a new High Performance Program in consultation with the Northern Territory Institute of Sport and a partnership with Boxing South Australia. This program has been developed on the back of results of NT boxing performances over the past 10 years at a National level. Feedback from those within boxing high performance programs is that the NT is a recognised “Talent Potential” zone. This is also the belief of the new committee, and as such we recognise the need to implement a structured High Performance Plan that leads to much improved performances of NT competitors at National Championships.

The High Performance Program has 3 target areas that it will focus on over a five year plan, and reviewed annually. These 3 target areas are:

• Coach development and high performance education
• Judging and Refereeing development leading to high performance pathways and support
• Partner with state bodies to provide matching and regular competition with boxers in the HP squad

Boxing NT are using the 1st year of its inception as a pilot project that is to be reviewed quarterly with our partners and includes feedback from parents and coaches of boxers that are in the High Performance program.
