What's the news from other parents with College gymnasts? We jsut got word that DDs season was just scrapped. We were expecting it to happen, with the other colleges in D3 foregoing their seasons but were holding out on a little hope for at least some virtual meets. Still hoping they will be...
The light bulb finally came on at USAG....about a year late, but at least there is an initiative. Develop men's programs in college athletic departments outside of Power 5 football universities.

Great read. I love some of the creativity to help keep MAG alive. MAG cannot sustain any more program losses.
I have asked this before but didn't get a lot of response so I want to ask again. For those of you with college gymnasts, when are they heading back? Some schools already announced online only for Fall, so how will they practice? Have we heard what is going to happen to the 2020-21 season? And...
There are some concerns for all sports at this point that they could be cancelled. We need to do what we can to support, especially our Olympic sports!

There was a thread started in the awesome college group, which i felt needed to not be lost.
How will the current covid 19 situation affect your college bound gymnast, or you current college gymnast?

I know so many parents and gymnasts wonder what is possible for Kids who aren’t top level 10 recruits.
I just wanted to share that a level 9 at our gym just received her acceptance letter to a very good school and a D3 gymnastics program.
she could not be more excited and it goes to show that...

i am surprised the amount of people on Twitter that believe that since Claire is walk on that she "didn't take a spot from someone else".........I do not know a single D1 spot (scholarship or walk-on) that is NOT a recruited position that...
Does anyone have any experience having their gymnast attend the College Bound Showcase? Just looking for defeatism as to what I can Expect.
Bummed our coach isn’t going and worries that will play a negative factor...
I spent some time yesterday looking at online Staff Directories for several college gymnastics programs.
Some school websites had emails for all coaches, some only assistants, some recruiting directors, some office assistants and some various combination of those.
What I’d like to know is who...
So many questions! Why is raising kids so difficult?!?!
One question is, are there girls who just make level 10 in 12th grade that have been recruited to do gymnastics in college?
My daughter is a late starter. She’s going into 9th grade next year. She competed her first year of level 8...
Hello,
My daughter would like to perform gymnastics when she attends college. Will she be able to compete with the skills learned from being on Xcel?
Thank u
I was watching the PAC 12 and listening to the commentators talk about the record breaking attendance Oklahoma has enjoyed this year. I know Utah and UCLA typically enjoy large crowds as well. I know there are a host of things that often dictate and determine how colleges add programs, but with...
We just received notification that my DD was accepted into an incredibly selective scholarship program (under a 2% acceptance rate). She’s going to the absolute best college for her in terms of academics and fit, and she’ll do club gymnastics while she is there. I know there is a thrill to the...
I am a junior in high school who would absolutely love to compete gymnastics in college. I am a level 9 vault and floor specialist, and I expect to be a level 10 next year. I know I’m not the ideal candidate for a college team as I would only have 1 year of experience in level 10 before I...
