"To continue training with the Rock Hill Boxing Club, the nine boys will need a one-year membership to USA Boxing, a national association for the sport," the Rock Hill Herald has reported. "And the fee to become a member will go up next year from $32 to $45. "
An after-school program in the area has agreed to pay the $45 fee in December for two students to continue to box, and will help provide equipment and related supplies. And a local Rock Hill man has agreed to sponsor five of the remaining seven students, but the last two teen still need sponsors, the Herald reported.
Reverend Seth Crosby, who mentors all nine of the young boxers, is asking the community to support the teenagers and help keep the program going.
