I am the owner and head coach of ROUGHOUSE BOXING in hampton va I am also the vice president if The Va #12 lbc.As a small buisness owner trying to get youth interested and involved with amateur boxing it is very hard when our own state will not allow children to box without blood work and all that is a professional type deal.It is completely undermining to what I am trying to do in my own buisness as well as it affects bottom line.With having to go to other states to have amateurs compete being as though the rest of the country is still Usaboxing it is hard because most don't have funds for out of state trips.With things the way they are it cuts down on the potential for va to send another boxer to the Olympics due to this law.The rules and regulations of of usa boxing have been wonderful and still are when they are being used.I pray that the boxing is allowed to continue as ot has been for years so that we can continue working with the youth in our programs.Thank you for your time and your consideration of giving the youth back something that alot use as hope.
