The Gym
The Central Valley Boxing Club (CVBC) started from a passion for the sport of boxing by Santiago “El Chato” Rodriguez. Chato began his boxing career in Guadalajara Mexico and later brought his skills to his own gym in the early 90’s (Please read more on his boxing journey in our blog!).
Our Goal
The mission of CVBC is to provide a positive environment for local youth to develop strong skills related to the sport of boxing. While many of these skills are directly linked to performance in the ring many are exemplary, if not necessary, outside the ring for youth growing up in disadvantaged areas. The CVBC is dedicated to the growth of all youth athletes in and out of the ring. We never charge membership dues or fees of any kind in exchange for the training that is provided. CVBC is operated by a dedicated group of volunteers and is funded solely through the charitable contributions of our friends, neighbors, and partners.
