Fight Like a Girl is a school- and community-based boxing and wellness program that uses the power of sport to change the lives of girls ages 10-18.

School programs are held within the schools we partner with and run by a school employee. Anyone can become a trained Box United coach- no boxing experience necessary! Box United offers a stipend to all coaches which includes hourly pay for training, planning, and programming. FLAG coaches must commit to 20 weeks of coaching each year.

Yes! If a girl in your life wishes to participate but does not have FLAG at her school, she can sign up for our community programs, which are free for girls all across the city. For more information, click here.
