Back in the Ring: Fairfield PAL Boxing Returns March 2 with a New Coach

The gloves are coming back out at the Fairfield PAL Teen Center. Beginning Monday, March 2, Fairfield PAL is bringing back its free teen boxing program—now led by Coach Jason Alcantara, the program’s new coach. The session is built for teens who want a structured place to train after school, learn fundamentals, and build confidence one round at a time.

Training will be offered Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays* with start times at 4:00 PM and 5:30 PM (*no 5:30 PM session on Wednesdays). Space is limited to the first 20 Fairfield PAL Teen Center members, and late admittance is not permitted to keep the program safe, consistent, and focused.

“I want Fairfield PAL members to develop more than physical ability. I want them to develop mental toughness, emotional control, discipline, and character” says new coach Jason Alcantara.

Coach Alcantara, a USA Boxing certified coach who has been coaching full time since 2020, will lead workouts that emphasize proper technique, footwork, conditioning, and respect—creating an environment where beginners feel welcome and returning participants can level up with clear structure and coaching.

Fairfield PAL’s boxing program is part of its broader mission to give local teens positive, skill-building options during the after-school hours—supporting healthy routines, strong relationships, and personal growth through recreation and mentorship.
