Nomis Youth Boxing Network

Operating since October 30, 2004, and housed since January 2015 at the NOMIS Youth Center at 2403 Benning Rd. NE, 1st Floor in Washington, D.C., Nomis Youth Boxing Network serves District youth in Ward 7 and across Wards 5, 6, 7, 8, and Capitol Hill. The program is directed by founder, President, and Executive Director Robert Simon, III, M.A., who holds a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of the District of Columbia, alongside Youth Worker Coach James Faltz, Jr. and Board Chairman Townsend Eugene Hunt III. Its free NOMIS After-School Boxing Academy serves DC youth ages 8 to 24 with Olympic-style boxing instruction, exercise and conditioning, health and wellness education, and counseling and sport mentoring, though the contact page notes the after-school program is temporarily on hold pending gym repairs. NOMIS also fields a competitive boxing team that has competed in the National Golden Gloves, Washington D.C. Golden Gloves, and USA Boxing national tournaments with gear, travel, and registration fees covered when needed, plus an Olympic Summer Training Camp for ages 13 to 24 and a Junior Olympic Boxing and Sports Enrichment Summer Camp for ages 8 to 13.
