Just ask... Shy kids get nothing :P

I'd imagine it'd be OK, most gloves only get you carded and get you a medical when you're competing. to spar I think you just need to sign the clubs insurance form, some places won't even do that I'd imagine a college would.

When you say college, do you mean english college (A levels etc 'high school' in america ) or American College ('university over here :P') dunno if you're english or moving here... just curious
