alameda county DSAL Boxing

Founded in 2005, the Alameda County Deputy Sheriffs Activities League (DSAL) is a nonprofit organization created to unite Alameda County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) personnel, citizens, and youth of Alameda County in the pursuit and implementation of initiatives that reduce crime, improve the lives of area residents, and enhance the health of the community. The Deputy Sheriff's Activities League provides a free, open-to-all boxing classes for children and adults, giving community members ages 10+ a chance to increase their fitness levels, learn boxing basics, and work their way up to advanced training if desired. Coaches, mentors and trainers focus on the fitness and discipline aspects of the sport and encourage participants that the lessons in the gym and the ring carry over into daily life. Boxing, like all DSAL recreational health and fitness programs, is a vital component in our goal to develop a new model of public safety and reinvest in our least served communities
