In Assoc. With: Davey Lopes Recreational Center An outgrowth of public and youth interest following the hanging of a single heavy workout bag in the Lopes Center basketball gym in Feb., 2006, the P.Y.B.C. now has its own independent club center in the Lopes Center thanks to the donation of its formerly abandoned indoor swimming pool and seperate, enclosed addition to the building. A board of former professional and military boxers serve ages 6 to adult as trainers and coaches. The program strives to go beyond mere conditioning and boxing training to include instructions and exercises to foster the benefits of Positive Thinking, proper diet, self-discipline, self-confidence, and respect for others as well as oneself. "Think High to Rise High" is its motto and its goal is to assist and guide all aspects of its members' lives in order to help create and build healthy and productive young men and women capable of affecting our communities and cities in a positive way. |
