ABOUT CAL BOXING
Founded in 1916, the UC Berkeley Boxing Club (CAL BOXING) is the longest continuously established collegiate boxing program in the nation. We compete in intercollegiate boxing events as members of the National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA), sanctioned by USA Boxing.
​
We welcome new student athletes with or without experience and strive for our boxers to reach their full potential.
MISSION
Cal Boxing’s mission is to cultivate a community of discipline, resilience, and personal growth through practicing the art of competitive boxing. We are dedicated to fostering athletic excellence, mental toughness, and outstanding character in a supportive and inclusive environment. Our team strives to develop both physical and mental strength, empowering student-athletes to reach their full potential in and out of the ring. Through our collective hard work, respect, integrity, and commitment, we represent the University of California, Berkeley with pride and integrity, building champions in life as well as in the sport.
VALUES
COMMITMENT
Every member must arrive on time for team practices and meetings, fully ready to participate both mentally and physically.
WORK ETHIC
Develop heart and resilience. Give maximum intent and effort during training sessions and competitions. Commit to practice and conditioning requirements. Every member is expected to push themselves and support their teammates in doing the same.
RESPECT
Treating coaches, teammates, and other participants with respect is fundamental. Disrespect, disparaging communication, or disruptive behavior are not tolerated.
INTEGRITY
Members must be accountable for their actions in and out of the ring. This includes owning up to mistakes, following through on commitments, and maintaining discipline.
TEAM-FIRST MENTALITY
The success of the team takes priority over individual achievements. Open communication and collaboration are paramount. Actions against the team’s shared goals, such as selfish play, are non-negotiable offenses.
POSITIVE ATTITUDE
Endeavor to create a positive, safe learning environment for everyone in Cal Boxing. Growth-oriented words, actions, and mindset, especially in the face of adversity, are required. Strengthen our ability to apply feedback. Negativity, complaining, or disparaging comments are unacceptable, as they damage the team’s morale.
