The name holds deep meaning for us. It represents the approximate number of youths who age out of government care each year in BC, a staggering statistic that now stands closer to 1,000. With many of our initial athletes having firsthand experience in government care, this number resonates with us on a profound level. It symbolizes our collective journey and inspires us to create positive change.
At Team 700, we prioritize Indigenous youth who have lived government care experience. We provide a safe space—a family—where they can find support, guidance, and the tools they need to navigate life successfully. Boxing serves as more than just a sport; it becomes an outlet for self-expression and a catalyst for personal growth. Within the ring and beyond, we aim to exemplify Indigenous excellence and inspire greatness.
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.”
