Dear Boxing Community:
It is with very deep regret that I must inform everyone that the Georgia Games will not be holding our Boxing championships this year.
There have been significant and philosophical changes in both GABA (GA Amateur Boxing Association) and in USA Boxing that have prevented the Georgia Games from holding this annual championship.
We have been trying until this week to try and find a way to conduct the sport of boxing for this year but we could not find an avenue that would make it possible.
At this time, we would also like to greatly thank the Davis Family for ALL of their tireless work for the amateur boxers in Georgia and across the country. Your passion for the amateur boxers and the sport will be greatly missed. You were the heart and soul of the Georgia Games Boxing Championships for 26 years. Thank you for everything!
We hope that we can find a way to again offer our boxing championships.

Beginning June 1, 2016, all athlete members shall have proof of a current annual sports physical attached to their passbook to be able to compete in USA Boxing sanctioned events. Please refer to the list of disqualifying conditions. (http://go.teamusa.org/1sQ1Bee)
On our website is a form that can be used for the yearly physical exam (http://go.teamusa.org/1TM53xv) however other forms are acceptable:
Be sure that whatever form you use, it is completed and signed by a physician (MD or DO), signed by the athlete (and legal guardian if under 18 years old) and it states clearly “cleared for contact sports” or “cleared for all sports.” Attach a copy of the physical or the “Annual Physical Signature Page” to your passbook (inside, back cover). You may want to keep an additional copy for your records. Per our rules, exams will not be accepted if done by Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Dentists, Chiropractors, EMT’s or other non-physician medical providers.
If you’ve had a physical (as described above) within the last year, place a copy in your passbook and it will be accepted as your annual physical for 2017.
ELIGIBILITY
All athletes must be currently registered with USA Boxing (USAB) and have their passbook with them at time of tournament entry. A registration number sticker for the current year MUST be in the passbook when presented to the tournament administration.
Boxers must register with USAB for the current year with the LBC in their state of residence.
Elite (Open) division athletes must have a minimum of 5 scored bouts recorded in their passbooks. Walkover and/or unopposed wins do not count toward the 5 bouts.
