WELCOME
Our organization will be started its 35th season this September. Over the years, Azteca has enriched over 4,000 kids with Olympic-style amateur boxing, little league baseball, folkloric dancing and various other recreational and social activities. Since its inception, our organization has always been staffed by volunteers.

The need to raise operating funds is a constant effort - our yearly budget now exceeds $40,000.00, and we are indeed very grateful for the support of the many individuals who've kept our programs going for so long. Without this support, we would not be able to succeed.

2009 MICHIGAN SILVER GLOVES
The 2009 Michigan Silver Gloves championships were held December 6-7 at the St. Vincent de Paul Parish Hall in Pontiac. As they have for the past several years, the Azteca Youth Enrichment boxing team played host for the two-day event for boxers under the age of 16 years.

Seventy-six young state champions were crowned in two experience levels (A & B) in four age divisions (8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 14-15). For the first time, B & C levels were combined, more in keeping with what other states do at their state tournaments, to improve competition. Two-thirds of the champions were uncontested. In total, 118 eligible boxers participated in 43 bouts. Eight champions were females - all in the senior and intermediate divisions. Champions in the "A" class of all divisions except Bantam (novices) advance to the regionals, which will be held January 17-19, 2009 in Ashland, Kentucky. That national tournament will be held the following month in Missouri.
