A reminder that the club is still looking for volunteers to help run some of the facets of the club and the society...if you are interested please call Cst. Aaron Chamberlin of the Sooke RCMP: 250-642-5241.

New Season!

The Sooke Boxing Club is once again prepared to start a new season providing a positive, supervised venue for youth and adults to learn a healthy and rewarding sport. We will be starting the season on Monday, Oct 3rd and will be operating Mondays at 7:30PM and Wednesdays at 7PM at the Sooke Community Hall.

The new season will see the startup of the RCMP sanctioned Ringside Rescue program, which offers youth requiring guidance and mentorship an opportunity to realize their full potential as individuals and
citizens. The program is currently operating in Nanaimo with enormous success.

The club is a non-profit society and currently has a core group of committed coaches and participants of all ages. We are currently looking for community members intersted in being on the board of directors of the Sooke Boxing Club, working with coaches and the
RCMP to ensurethe success of the club and its programs. We are also looking for enthusiastic individuals to assist on directing cardio and stretching regimens which contitute a large portion of the evening's activities.

If you have previous experience working with community groups or organizations, and feel you are a team player, please write to the Sooke Boxing Club with a short summary of experience and current interest in the club, at PO Box 808, Sooke.

For more information please feel free to contact Cst. Aaron Chamberlin of the Sooke RCMP at 642-5241.

Ringside Rescue Coming To Sooke!

The Nanaimo Boxing Club Ringside Rescue Program will be coming to Sooke in September. This RCMP monitored program provides a stable, supervised environment for youth that have had some challenges in the community. The idea is for these youth to work on bettering themselves and become positively involved in the community.



Cst. Bill Dornan of the Nanaimo RCMP passed the torch to Cst. Aaron Chamberlin of the Sooke RCMP earlier this month. More information about the program will be provided in the summer months.

Thankyou Sooke!
