What is Soul Strong?
Soul Strong with The Sisters Strain is a female oriented boxing program that focuses on not only strength of body but strength of mind. The program teaches introductory level boxing skills and aims to promote personal confidence, the importance of fostering sisterhood as well as inner bravery and finding your own voice!
​
A successful trial run of the program was offered to females aged 13-16 in Chatham- Kent, Ontario in May of 2024. Participants attended 4, 2 hour workshop sessions where they received a pair of boxing gloves, hand wraps, tote bag, t-shirt, water bottle, journal and jump rope. These items were theirs to keep so that they were set up to successfully pursue further boxing training/recreational enjoyment, should they choose to, following the program.
​
There was overwhelming interest from the community for young ladies of all ages to take part in the program. As such the sisters are hoping to be able to host the workshop for 3 or 4 different age groupings (aged 7 to 18) for their next round- set for spring of 2025. The Sisters Strain ran their first trial out of their own pocket. As they can only personally sponsor one round per year they are actively looking for support/sponsorship opportunities from other companies in the community that would like to see their program offered to all the young ladies who are eager to take part. The Sisters hope these partnerships will help them continue to be able to offer the program free of charge to participants so no socio-economic barriers prevent participation!
​
In August and September of 2024 the Chatham Little Caesar's partnered with the ladies by donating a portion of their proceeds from two Friday night dinner sales to support The Soul Strong Program.
