Strength in Culture, Success in Unity

Welcome to Team 700

British Columbia’s first competitive Indigenous youth boxing team. Our journey began as a shared vision between founder and coach, Ivy and the Nanaimo Indigenous Youth Advisory Council.

Meet Our Fighters

Team 700 is a family. It is a space in which Indigenous youth can attain tools that they need to successfully navigate life. It is a safe space, an outlet, and above all it is a space where Indigenous youth can aspire to greatness, inside and outside of the ring.

What Team 700 Means to Me

“Team 700 is an opportunity for Indigenous youth that we don’t get a lot to get into sports. My training at the gym has helped me realize what I am capable of if I put my mind to it.”
