09 Golden Gloves

Welcome to the home page for the Virginia and North Carolina Golden Gloves.

Since the first Golden Gloves tournament in 1923, the Golden Gloves of America, Inc. and its member franchises have provided an opportunity and environment for young athletes to develop lifetime skills. Hundreds of dedicated administrators, coaches, trainers and counselors have unselfishly spent countless times and effort to assist young people in the development of personal character and athletic skills. The Golden Gloves program has led the way in promoting amateur boxing in the United States and has produced the majority of competitors for America’s boxing teams in the Pan-Am and Olympic Games

Mission Statement

It is the mission of the Virginia/North Carolina Golden Gloves to provide an activity and safe environment that promotes and enhances the physical and emotional well-being and social development of young athletes; develops individual athletic skills, work ethic, discipline, sportsmanship, self-respect and pride; and provides entertainment to citizens of the community. We are the southern sub-region of the Washington D.C. Golden Gloves franchise and our geographical boundries are all of the state of Virginia and the eastern section of North Carolina from the northern border to the southern border, from the western limits of Raleigh and east including the All Marine Corps Team of Camp Lejeune. To complete our mission annually we conduct championships that advance to the regional and national levels of competition annually.

It is with great pride and pleasure that the Virginia Association of USA Boxing and Seven Cities Boxing Club of Virginia Beach announce the Annual Virginia Golden Gloves Championships.  The Golden Gloves is the longest continual amateur boxing tournament in the United States. 

The list of Golden Gloves champions is filled with names like Floyd Paterson, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and Sugar Ray Leonard.  American heroes that started their illustrious careers as Golden Gloves champions before they were to become legendary icons. There very well may be a future Olympian among us.
