OLYMPIC FIX: Boxing... to BMX... and canoeing!

Tuesday 23 July 2024


As we count down to Paris 2024, Express is shining a light on the different clubs and groups available in Jersey for anyone inspired by the Olympians.

Welcome to the second instalment of OLYMPIC FIX.

Yesterday, we covered everything from archery to basketball.

The sports on today's agenda are...

Boxing

 

If you're looking to extinguish some of that pent up energy then Jersey Leonis is one option in Jersey that caters for all levels of experience.  

As the only officially recognised boxing club in Jersey registered with the National Association of England Boxing, you'll be in safe hands (or gloves).

Breaking (NEW)

Making its debut at Paris 2024 is Breaking, a form of dance similar to street dance.

Many local dance schools offer street dance classes in Jersey, namely Emma Jane Dance AcademySilhouette Studios and Street Angels facilitated through Centre Point.

Canoeing

 The Jersey Canoe Club will get you started and help you learn the... oars?

Not quite the canoe slalom experience featuring in Paris 2024, but a fun activity nevertheless.

Cycling – BMX (freestyle and racing)

There are no official BMX clubs in Jersey, but there are numerous facilities to practice flips and tricks.

  • St. Helier Skatepark

  • St. John's Recreation Ground Skatepark

  • Les Creux Millennium Country Park Pump Track

Cycling

Jersey is a great place for cycling and boasts plenty of options – be it road, track or mountain biking. 

As well as the signposted Jersey Cycle Network, there are clubs available to join as well.

For example, The Jersey Cycling AssociationBig Vern's Cycle Club and Jersey Youth Cycling amongst many others.
