Calzaghe's Mini Dragons Boxing School Partners with Prospero

Prospero Teaching is delighted to announce a partnership with Calzaghe’s Mini Dragons non-contact boxing programme for young people.

The Calzaghe Mini Dragons offer non-contact boxing and self-esteem workshop for children and young people across Wales.

The Calzaghe family recognise that young people are spending more time at home engaging with technology and that this can have a detrimental effect on mental health and well-being.

To combat this, world champion super middle-weight boxer, Joe Calzaghe, devised this programme to support young people’s health and well-being. In particular, sessions focus on boosting self-esteem and promoting an active lifestyle.

What do the Calzaghe Mini Dragons deliver for children and young people?

Prepared in line with the Health and Well-being area of Learning and Experience from the New Curriculum for Wales, this programme aims to deliver fun, engaging and energetic sessions to develop healthy, confident individuals.

12-week programme: The Calzaghe Mini Dragons consists of 12-week programmes that can be delivered to KS1, KS2, KS3 and KS4. They have also delivered for children with behaviour challenges as well as those with low self-esteem.

“Boxing definitely has a part to play in taking away that unwanted aggression.” – Joe Calzaghe

Programme details: Mapped against the curriculum by the Calzaghe family and a team of teachers each session includes exercise, non-contact boxing skills, and games as well as activities to build core morals and positive behaviours. The programme is focused on developing individuals’ self-worth as well as empathy for others.
