Cincinnati High School Boxing Program

Highlights

The Cincinnati High School Boxing Program was established in 1996 at the request of students. Moeller is one of three high schools in the country with a boxing program. In addition , students from other high schools in Cincinnati train and compete with the Cincinnati High School Boxing Team. The objective of the program is to provide a safe and organized forum to learn Olympic-Style boxing. Moeller has had boxers who have competed in amateur bouts and at the Golden Gloves tournament. Amateur boxing is a misunderstood sport because is is compared to professional boxing. In reality,  amateur boxing is very safe due to the specific rules, protective equipment, and emphasis on athlete safety.
