Competitive team gymnastics has been around for half a century now! Fostering the ancient art and sports,
many countries have taken the initiative to take this competitive team gymnastics sport to the next level
of expertise and thereby have opened up a incredible number of training centers for team gymnastics across the globe.
If your acrobatic toddler is serious about becoming a gymnast, look no further in MA. We, at New England Sport Academy
(NESA) offer multi-level training in gymnastics separately for boys and girls. We have competitive and recreational
training sessions and programs that will help your children grow as an athlete and as a confident individual.
Let your kids enjoy and learn the sport of gymnastics from an early age to compete at a diverse level of sports.
Gymnastics, believed to be an excellent foundation to any sports, can generate self esteem, strength, power, goal
setting, flexibility and coordination in your kids!
Levon has been coaching in the U.S. since 2000. Prior to this time, he was a world class gymnast. He was 4 times
Armenian National Champion, 2 times USSR Champion and holds the prestigious award of Sports Master Title of
Gymnastics, USSR. In addition, he won numerous International awards, and competed in the European and World
Championships. In 1996, Levon moved to Brazil and
continued to compete professionally. Between 1996 and 2000
Levon won numerous regional and national titles. Levon has been a judge, since 1993, and most recently judged at
the 2006 World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark.
Levon began his coaching career in Armenia in 1995 at the Olympic School of Gymnastics of Grant Shahinyan. In
Brazil he was head coach at a private club and produced a team that won numerous state and national titles.
Since coming to the U.S., Levon has coached many state, regional and national caliber gymnasts. This also includes
placing several athletes on the Junior National Team and Future Stars National Team. Many of his boys have gone to
earn scholarships and compete at colleges such as Stanford, MIT, William & Mary, Penn State and Air Force. Levon has
been the Boys Program Director at NESA since we opened in 2003.
About the Program
NESA offers one of the best boys gymnastics program in New England. Our recreational classes are designed to
teach the fundamentals of men's gymnastics to young students.
In addition to our recreation program we have a highly competitive team program which is by invitation only.
Our coaches are professional USA Gymnastics Members and are Safety Certified. Boys are trained on Olympic events
(floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, high bar) as well as trampoline. Gymnastics provides an
excellent foundation for any sport (such as baseball, soccer, diving, basketball, football, etc). This program
will make your child strong, flexible, coordinated and disciplined. Students are frequently evaluated to be placed
in the appropriate class. Decisions are not only based on the individual's talent but also on the commitment the
child and his parents are willing to make. The underlying principle is that the child should be challenged
(not overwhelmed) and should have a positive, enjoyable experience.
Program Benefits
Gymnastics is an excellent foundation for all sports. Gymnastics builds coordination, flexibility, strength,
power, speed, ability to follow instructions, self esteem, confidence, friendships, goal setting, develops gross
motor skills and most importantly- it's FUN!
Testimonials
"Levon's training is unbelievable...its benefit to our son goes way beyond gymnastics... It's helped prepare
him for many of life challenges... We would highly recommend this program, this facility, this school and
this coach to anyone."
--- David & Nancy Littman
"Levon is one of the top boys' coaches in New England. He is great with younger boys and clearly enjoys
coaching them. He is also an excellent technical coach. Young boys learning with him will learn to do things
right from the very beginning. And they can move up through the levels with Levon, for he is just as good with
the higher levels. NESA is very lucky to have him."
--- Victoria Frothingham
"My son, age 9, has been in the boys pre-team and team gymnastics program at NESA and its predecessor for
approximately 5 years. Neither my wife nor I had any prior experience with gymnastics. However, we knew enough
to firmly believe that gymnastics at NESA would provide him with invaluable cross training for his alpine ski
racing career as well as other sports he might choose to pursue. Particularly, we believed that no sport provides
a better training platform for a combination of flexibility, balance and strength. We have not been disappointed.
Levon is the perfect coach. The facility is great. [My son] loves the sport. The flexibility and balance he has
developed in gymnastics has given him a significant and visible advantage over other ski racers his age. Core
strength developed in gymnastics has clearly given him similar advantages, just in less obvious ways. Although
ski racing was our original focus, we know that gymnastics training has helped substantially in other sports
such as karate (where he has a brown belt), golf, baseball and soccer. We intend for our son to continue with
gymnastics as a key cross training tool for the duration of his sports career."

My son Cole (15) has been enrolled in the homeschool program on Tuesdays for 2 or 3 years now. He loves it! He takes gymnastics and parkour regularly and has taken science, math, and chess in the past. He also appreciates open gym! I also appreciate open gym because I usually get some exercise in while Cole is in class or playing. I also appreciate the parents and staff, who are friendly and interesting to talk to when I feel like socializing. I highly recommend NESA to everyone! --- Donna L. 2012
I take my two grandsons to the Sunday Morning Play time to get exercise. Very nice Sunday morning out for the boys. Love this place. --- Diane B. December 2011
