    Women Level 10 before college?

    I'm 17 and only at level 7. I could go on to college in 2018 like I would normally do... Or I could do a gap year and try to be a level 10 before college, which is extremely unlikely. It would mean that I would have to compete both level 8 and 9 next year, and I'm barely ready to compete 7 now...

    Women Options for continuing gymnastics in College

    I am starting the process of looking for colleges and I would like to be able to continue to do gymnastics in college. I am a USAIGC Gold gymnast. I know I will not be able to make it onto any NCAA teams. I know many colleges have club teams but I don't know much after that. My questions are...

    Parents Coaches with college competition experience???

    Where are they? I run a year round wrestling school and every coach I have wrestled at the college level and all but one was an All-American. The one was still on scholarship as an athlete. Why do so many clubs in gymnastics seem to be so limited with coaches who have actually competed at the...

    Women College Letters

    I know of several younger gymnasts (ages 11-13) who have received letters of interest from colleges. I'm curious if anyone here knows how the colleges choose these girls. Do they look at posted scores? Or do they decide based more on what they see from the girls at meets? Or are there other...

    Women Rating Gyms and College Programs

    Someone posed a very good question in another thread. "Why don't we get to rate gyms like we rate schools?" Another poster said that they would pay for that information to avoid getting into a bad gym situation. So how about it? I am envisioning a website where parents and gymnasts and former...

    Men College Meet

    D and I watched a college meet tonight. It was Illinois, Cal and Air Force. Illinois was incredible. They posted the highest team pommel score of the season in the NCAA! 4 of 5 were over 15 and the one one that was not was a 14.85. Just a clinic on pommel horse. And the highest high bar...

    Women college summer camps

    Was wondering if any of your gymnasts participated in these summer camps offered by various NCAA programs? If so, was it worth it? -did they learn new skills/techniques which they were able to bring back to their home gym? -did it help in the college recruitment process? -what age/level...

    Women Entering Div 1 NCAA as a Freshman...with College Credits

    I am aware of some programs available for high school students that allow them to take College courses as a high school student. Sometimes this is called "dual enrollment" (dually enrolled in high school and college). Some of the programs I have seen allow the student to just take classes of...

    Women Accurate answers on competing in college gymnastics

    I have read so many conflicting versions of information regarding college gym from many different sources and I am utterly confused. Whether it is from this board, articles elsewhere, coaches, etc. My guess is that there is no one answer, but here is my question. At what point is it no longer...

    Parents College

    A couple of recent threads have got me interested in learning more about the U.S. college scene. So is it common there for kids to go to college on a scholarship? Do a lot of kids who do sport 'aim' to try to get a college scholarship out of their sport? What sports can you get scholarships...

    Women Unofficial College Visits Vs. Official College Visits

    Anyone have any thoughts on what the availability of official college visits is these days? I heard a speaker at a recent NCAA workshop say that when he was a gymnastics coach at a D1 school he used to give out official visits like they were candy. He coached about 12 years ago, but it seems...

    Parents Is College Gym An Option?

    Hi! I'm more of a lurker than a poster and I enjoy learning from you all! I have a question, but background info may be helpful. My daughter is a 13 year old level 9. Her story is a crazy one... She started level L4 at 6, L5 at 7, L6 at 8, "skipped" 7, L8 at 9 (regional qualifier, fell apart...

    Women First year at a college camp.

    I agreed to let my 10 year old and 8 year old go to a university run gymnastics camp. There is no one else from our gym attending this camp. Since they have never been before does anyone have advice that I can give them about the camp? Advice for mom?? Anything I should pack for them that may...

    Parents Can a young-for-grade gymnast take an extra year before college?

    My DD started K a year early (her b'day is close to the cut-off and she was admitted b/c she was academically and socially ready). This will mean that she's a year younger at her high school graduation than some kids -even more than a year than others as red-shirting is so popular. It occurred...

    Parents Late start - college success stories?

    My DD11 started gymnastics last year and competed level 2 and level 3. She appears to have a natural talent and has taken to the sport and "live, breathes, sleeps" gymnastics. We had a gym change and she is on their fast track to compete level 5, and training up as well. Her goal is a college...
