The Academy

Notts would like to congratulate Bulgarian born Pavel Todorov, the new Head Coach for Notts Men's Artistic. Pavel has been coaching at Notts since 2011 as a senior coach.

Pavel has 21 years of experience coaching gymnastics to boys of all ages to a high competitive standard. He was the National Head Coach for the Malaysian Men’s Artistic Gymnastics for 14 years before coming to England and working at South Essex Gym Club as Senior Advisory Coach (home to Max Whitlock). Pavel has also been involved in developing coaching courses aimed at developing teachers and gymnastic coaches and is an expert in talent identification and selection for artistic gymnastics.

We wish him all the best and believe that Pavel will help move men's artistic forwards and in time equal the success of the Notts girls discipline.
