Boxing for Kids in Szczecin: Groups, Schedule and Prices

You'll find boxing for kids in Szczecin at BKS Rocky, ul. Jagiellońska 67 — we run two age groups: Kids 6–9 and Junior 10–15. Classes take place Monday to Saturday, the family pass starts at 199 zł per person, and the first session is free. Below you'll find everything parents usually ask about: what a session looks like, who runs it, how much it costs and how to sign your child up.

Who it's for: Kids 6–9 and Junior 10–15

We split children by age, because a six-year-old and a fourteen-year-old need completely different training.

• Kids 6–9 — the foundation is movement through play: coordination, balance, spatial awareness and the first elements of a boxing stance. Lots of games and general fitness exercises, very little theory.
• Junior 10–15 — more technique: stance, footwork, basic punches, defence, pad work and bag work. Conditioning and supervised partner work are added gradually.

Your child doesn't need any sporting experience. They don't need to be "athletic" either — that's exactly what training changes. If your child is shy, it's all the more worth trying: in the group everyone works at their own pace and nobody is forced into anything.

What your child learns besides punching

Olympic boxing is a contact sport, but in the club what counts most is discipline and respect. Kids learn punctuality, control over their emotions, and the rule that you never use your strength outside the gym. For parents that often matters more than a perfect hook — and rightly so.

On top of that, regular training helps with:

• motor coordination and a sense of rhythm,
• posture and overall fitness,
• concentration — you have to remember and repeat a sequence,
• confidence that comes from a skill you've mastered, not from bragging.

What a kids' session looks like

Classes last 1.5 hours and follow a fixed, predictable structure. Children settle into it quickly.

1. Warm-up — running, skipping rope, general fitness exercises, movement games (this part is longer for the youngest group).
2. Technique — boxing stance, footwork, single punches and simple combinations, practised first "in the air", then on equipment.
3. Equipment work — bags, pads with the coach, partner drills at a distance, with no punches to the head.
4. Strength work and stretching — bodyweight exercises suited to the age group, finishing with calm stretching.

There is no sparring in the youngest group. With juniors, partner work is introduced gradually, in headgear and gloves, only when the coach decides the child is ready technically and emotionally — and always under supervision. It's a contact sport run safely, not a timed exchange of punches.

What to bring to the first session

• comfortable sportswear and a change of indoor shoes,
• a bottle of water,
• a towel,
• gloves and wraps — not needed at the start, club equipment is enough for the first few sessions. The coach will tell you what size to buy later on.

Kids' class schedule

The children's groups train on fixed days and times. You'll find the full plan for all groups in the training schedule.

Day	Time	Group
Monday, Wednesday, Friday	17:00	Junior 10–15
Tuesday, Thursday	17:00 and 18:00	Kids 6–9
Saturday	12:30	Kids + junior

The club is open Monday to Friday from 09:30 to 21:00 and on Saturday from 11:00 to 14:00. We're closed on Sundays.

These time slots make it easier to get here after school — kids' sessions start at 17:00 or 18:00, and the Saturday class at 12:30 is a good top-up if you miss one weekday session.

How much does boxing for kids cost in Szczecin

Kids and juniors use the family pass — the price shown is per person, so with two siblings you simply multiply it by two. Passes are valid for 30 days from purchase.

Option	Price per person	Sessions per week
Family pass, 8 entries	199 zł	approx. 2 times a week
Family pass, 12 entries	225 zł	approx. 3 times a week
Family pass, 16 entries	245 zł	approx. 4 times a week
Single session	40 zł	one-off entry
First trial session	0 zł	—

For most children a sensible start is 8 entries, i.e. two sessions a week. If your child gets into the rhythm and wants more, you move up to 12 or 16 entries. You can check current rates for all passes — including adults' — in the price list.

Who runs the classes

The kids' and junior groups are led by Viacheslav Prokopchuk — head coach and founder of the club, Master of Sport of Ukraine, European Championship bronze medallist and an instructor certified by the Polish Boxing Association. He coaches both juniors and adults.

BKS Rocky also has Denis Grzesiak (Polish vice-champion at cadet level, two-time bronze medallist at the Polish Senior Championships), Vladyslav Ishchuk (professional boxer, bronze medallist of the Polish Championships and the Polish Cup) and Marcel Grabowski, a strength and conditioning coach who runs motor skills sessions on Saturdays at 11:00. You'll find profiles of the whole team on the Rocky Team coaches page.

This matters for one reason: BKS Rocky is a licensed boxing club (PZB), not a "fitness class with punchbags". If your child eventually wants to compete, we offer the full path here — from the first session to tournaments.

Getting here: central Szczecin, also from Prawobrzeże

The gym is at ul. Jagiellońska 67 in the centre of Szczecin, so it's an easy trip from both the left-bank districts and Prawobrzeże.

If you live in Prawobrzeże, the 18:00 sessions on Tuesday and Thursday or the Saturday group at 12:30 are a good option — you avoid the afternoon traffic. You'll find an exact map and travel options in the contact and directions section.

There's a changing room and shower available during training, and parents are welcome to stay and watch how the class runs — especially at the first session, when your child feels more confident knowing you're nearby.

How to book a free session for your child

The simplest way is this:

1. Pick a slot from the schedule — the 6–9 group on Tuesday or Thursday, Junior on Monday, Wednesday or Friday.
2. Fill in the trial session form or call: +48 579 118 191 (the same number works on WhatsApp). You can also email info@bksrocky.pl.
3. Arrive 10–15 minutes early so your child can get changed calmly and meet the coach.
4. After the session, have a chat with the coach — he'll suggest which group suits your child and which pass makes sense to start with.

One note: boxing is a contact sport, so if your child has any health issues, a doctor decides whether they're fit to train. Tell the coach about anything that might be relevant.

The first session costs nothing and commits you to nothing — book a trial session and see how your child fits into the team.
