| School Happenings: Boxing Program Empowers Students to Become Champions in Life |
Englewood Middle School students are getting a unique opportunity to hit bags with a boxing champion while building life skills to help them achieve success in the future.
DaVarryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamson
is a retired boxing champion and, along with Alysa and Ron Levine, co-founded Touchstone Youth Program (TYP), a non-profit sports-based youth program that combines athletic training with an emphasis on boxing and academics.
For the second year in a row, TYP is partnering with Englewood Middle School to offer students the opportunity to learn how to box while learning about the discipline of sport, the love of learning and the support of mentors. The program strives to teach lifelong skills that positions student for current and future success in their lives and their communities, and empower them to become champions in life.
"Boxing isn't a program that is often offered by schools," said Englewood Campus Assistant Principal Matt Palermo. "We thought this would be a unique experience for kids. DaVarryl and Alysa were interested in finding work that allowed them to give back to the community. They connected with us two years ago, and we started working with Touchstone Youth Program to get Englewood students involved."
Touchstone Youth Program is made up of a small group of individuals who are passionate about helping kids and impacting the community, including Englewood High School alum Justin Moss, who serves as Director of Operations. The team is driven to create a powerful program that will leave a lasting impression on the community and its future leaders.
TYP believes in the opportunity to focus youth on a positive path through a sports and academic based youth development program. Using the discipline and dedication in boxing, alongside two different academic programs and local boxing gyms, TYP strives to instill a sense of integrity, commitment, honor and respect in participating students.
This year, 10 Englewood Middle School students are participating in the program. To learn more about Touchstone Youth Program, visit
