History of Boxing Club De Groot

‘Boxing Club de Groot began as Boxing Club Pettit and was founded in Egmond aan Zee in 1964. The first training sessions were held in a garage. The five Egmonders of the first hour were: C. de Graaf, D. Groen, G. Dekker, M. gul and A. Prins. A little later, Ken Pettit joined the club, and he has been in good standing. Starting in 1969, the club moved to the large gymnasium of village hall Hanswijk in Egmond aan den Hoef.

In 1988, W. de Groot took over the club and shaped it into what it is today. So there has been boxing in the Egmonden for 58 years. In late 2018, W. de Groot passed away suddenly. In early 2019, a new board was formed in which it was decided to use a trainer group to provide training. The regular Thursday night was expanded to Tuesday night, and to honor the former trainer, the name was changed to Boxing Club De Groot. In June 2019, Boxing Club De Groot and Boxing Team the Ring entered into a partnership that created more opportunities for competitive boxers’.
