We Build Champions

We Strive To Live Each Day To Be Our Best

Mission Statement: Greater Lansing Area Specialized Sports encourages young people, particularly in the African American community, to identify areas of self-improvement, build self-confidence, and strive to live each day to be our best selves. Team G.L.A.S.S. provides a positive environment for Lansing youth to feel connected and offers support to one another. Members develop a sense of where they can improve personally, physically, and professionally, and we learn to rely on one another in a team environment. When young African American youth feel connected, practicing self-improvement skills, communicate effectively, and learn how to resolve conflicts, we build a safer community that we all can be proud to be a part of!

Team G.L.A.S.S. boxers participate in tournaments all over the United States, and boxers compete in Michigan Golden Gloves and the U.S.A. Olympics.

“You dream, You plan. You reach. There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, with belief, with confidence and trust in yourself and those around you, there are no limits.”
