Teen Boxing in Brisbane — Ages 12–17
Teen boxing at The Boxing Shop in Salisbury helps young people develop boxing technique, fitness and consistent training habits. Our Under 17s program is for ages 12–17, with intermediate training and a separate pathway for young athletes interested in competition.
Under 17s classes
Under 17s sessions are available on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with membership options for one, two or three sessions each week. These classes develop skills through coach-led training. Check the timetable and current memberships together to choose days that your teenager can attend regularly.

Intermediate training for ages 12–17
The gym also lists intermediate training for ages 12–17, including Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday options. Speak with the team about experience and readiness before choosing this group. An age range alone does not tell you which session will be the best fit.
A pathway towards competition
For dedicated young athletes, the Junior Competition Squad covers ages 10–17 and has three weekly training sessions. This is a different commitment from a first boxing class. A coach can discuss the training expectations and appropriate entry point with the athlete and parent or carer.
Starting without experience
Tell us your teenager’s age and boxing experience when you enquire. The team can recommend a suitable first session, including how the free trial applies. You do not need to select a competition squad to start learning boxing.
Before your first session
Wear comfortable training clothes and bring water and a towel. Bring your boxing gloves and hand wraps if you have them. If you need equipment, ask the team before your visit so you know what to bring.
Parents and carers
Please use a parent or carer’s details for junior enquiries. Include the teenager’s age, preferred training days and what they want from boxing, whether that is fitness, confidence, learning a sport or eventually competing.
Train at our Salisbury gym
