Tara Clift, Head coach & founder of Northamptons Ladies Rough & Ready Boxing Club, successfully passed her level 2 coaching course with England Boxing.

This now means the Ladies only boxing club can now introduce sparring sessions.

Having successfully achieved Level 2 England Boxing Coaching Certificate, Ladies Rough & Ready Boxing Club has now introduced sparring sessions at the club. Without a level 2 award, this couldn't happen so the club is delighted with this achievement.

The ladies only boxing club, based in Spring Lane, Northampton continues to grow in success. They now have a level 2 female coach (Tara Clift), two level 1 female coaches (Caroline White & Adriana Smet) and another up and coming coach (Liv Neagoe) who is set to complete level 1 by the end of this year, bringing the total number to four professionally trained coaches, certified and affiliated with England Boxing.
