UMASS BOXING

What equipment do I need?


Members need to buy their own handwraps. Properly wrapped hands are essential to preventing hand and finger injury. Generally, members will not need their own gloves. Comfortable sneakers and thick socks are recommended.

A jumprope is recommended for cardio.

For members who spar, a mouthguard is required. This should be fitted using boil-and-bite.

What equipment does the Club Provide?


Boxing Club will generally provide headgear, gloves, and practice mitts.


There are also jumpropes, although it is best if you purchase your own and adjust it to your exact height.


The Umass recreation center has 2 heavy bags (1 hanging, 1 standing) on the second floor.
