    NCAA D3 College Recruiting - When to start posting recruiting videos?

    I know this is a wildly discussed topic on CB, I've read through many threads about college recruiting, but only a few seem to mention D3. At this point in my career I recognize it is realistically too late for me to go D1 and I don't have much interest in it. I live in NY and have many D3...

    Parents How important is the club for college recruiting

    Hello CB parents, Seeking some advice or insight from someone who's been down this path - please bear with me as the context helps explain a lot about our dilemma. My DD is a 10 year old L6 and hopes to do D1 college gymnastics. She trains at a new-ish gym that has a very small Optionals...

    Anon College Recruiting experience, insights and opinions

    Since my DD is starting this process, and since the information exchange seems pretty asymmetric with all the information tilted toward the programs I thought I would start this thread to see if others would want to compare notes, observations, experiences, and opinions. My DD is a freshman in...

    MAG Men's college recruiting - Academies vs Other Colleges

    My son is entering his sophomore year in high school, so he's starting to think more seriously about college gymnastics. He's currently really interested in the Naval Academy or West Point. What are the real differences between recruiting for colleges vs. the academies?

    Off Topic Gymnastics College recruiting and High School Cheer

    Should my daughter downplay Varsity High School cheerleading when she posts to he social media for gymnastics recruiting? Would college gym coaches percieve her as not a serious recruit if she does cheer also. She is good at both but I am wondering if we really do need to keep these worlds...

    Parents College recruiting process...part of the problem?

    I just received an interesting e-mail. FYI this e-mail is coming from NCSA, "Next College Student Athlete" which as far as I can tell is a for profit college sports recruiting firm. (And, fyi, they do NOT include gymnastics as one of the sports they recruit for.) We are on their email list only...

    WAG College recruiting

    Rather than pulling the current young recruiting thread further off topic, I figured I'd start a new one. I would like input from those who have been or are currently going through the recruiting process, and from coaches. What exactly are the different situations you encounter when dealing...

    MAG How does college recruiting work for the guys?

    It seems pretty straightforward for the girls -- get to upper level optionals early and make it to L9/L10 nationals and then just be visible and try to build up some mutual interest between schools/gymnasts. But since the guys peak later, when do boys really need to start being visible to have a...
