Boxing is one of the best sports for children: coordination, discipline, self-confidence, energy outlet. But it requires equipment adapted to their build: smaller wrist, less powerful punch, proportionate padding. RDX kids gloves are designed for ages 5–12. Swiss shipping via DPD, delivery in 2 to 3 working days.

RDXSports.ch is the official RDX Sports store for Switzerland. Authentic models, Swiss warranty, support in EN/FR/DE.

Which gloves for which age?

  • Ages 5 to 8 (discovery) → 4B Robo Kids 4oz — fun design, very lightweight, popular with children. Perfect for first sessions at the club or at home.
  • Ages 8 to 12 (regular training) → F6 KARA Kids 6oz — same Maya Hide Leather technology as the adult range, sized for young hands. For 1 to 3x/week club training.
  • From ages 12–13 → move to adult ranges in 8 or 10oz — training boxing gloves.

What weight for a child?

4 oz
Ages 5 to 8, first sessions. Very light, allows holding a guard without fatigue.
6 oz
Ages 8 to 12, regular training. Good weight/protection compromise.
8 oz
Pre-teens 12–14 years, more developed build. Transition to adult models.
10 oz
Teens from age 14 depending on build.

A glove that is too heavy tires the child quickly and makes them lose enjoyment. Better slightly too light than too heavy.

Frequently asked questions

From what age can a child start boxing?
From age 5–6 for fun introduction, 7–8 for structured contact-free training, 12 and over for light sparring under supervision.
My child boxes at home, not at a club. Which gloves?
4B Robo Kids 4oz for ages 5–8, F6 KARA Kids 6oz for ages 8–12. Avoid adult gloves that “will do” — that is what prevents wrist injuries.
Do children really need hand wraps?
Yes. A child’s wrist is more fragile. Short wraps (2–3m) stabilise the joint. Teach them to wrap themselves from age 8–9.
The child grows — do you need to buy new gloves every year?
Plan replacement every 18–24 months between ages 5 and 12. 4B Robo covers 5–8, F6 KARA Kids covers 8–12: 2 pairs for 7 years of practice. From ages 12–13, move to adult 8–10oz.
Can my child spar with these gloves?
For very light supervised club sparring with head guard and mouthguard: yes. F6 KARA Kids 6oz is sufficient for controlled children’s exchanges. For repeated or harder sparring, follow your club’s recommendations.
