FEMALES IN SILVER GLOVES

[PBPALBG]

Why have females been prevented from being in the Silver Gloves Tournaments this year after allowing them last year? Very disappointing!

when did this happen, last i heard females were going to compete for silver gloves during the same time as ringside tournament at the end of July.

this is from the national silver gloves page on facebook:

To correct misinformation issued in the USA Boxing December newsletter:

MALES SILVER GLOVES NATIONAL TOURNAMENT:
January 30 - February 2, 2013
Independence, MO

FEMALE NATIONAL SILVER GLOVES TOURNAMENT
July 30 - August 3, 2013
Kansas City, MO

If you have any questions please contact your Silver Gloves State Director. Thank you.

Thanks for the info,I was told there was none this year, hope it comes off and this is not a stalling tactic, I have been told that Silver Gloves hierarchy is against allowing Females and only allowed them last year because of outside pressure.

Just received info that female Silver Gloves will be held in Ft Lauderdale in conjunction with the Womens Golden Gloves July 9-13. Makes sense to me especially since I'm in South Florida.
