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?
Anyone have experience? Do they tend to be worthwhile? We are heading to Ohio for thanksgiving and my youngest desperately wants to do the clinic at Ohio State (it's for kids 7+, day and a half). It would be for fun - we aren't expecting anything out of it as parents. He just has stars in his...

Realistically I think my daughter is capable of D1 academics and gymnastics but not at a top D1 college. Anyone have any tips on D1 colleges with womens gymnastics teams where admission isn't ridiculously competitive and a good Level 10 can make the team?
I got thinking today about how few colleges seem to offer gymnastics as an intercollegiate sport. Does anyone know why? It seems like practically every college has a soccer or basketball team. Also, do colleges ever start up new NCAA gymnastics teams? For example when I was in college a friend...
I am hearing that the last couple of years that colleges are becoming pickier on what is accepted on transcripts. It sounds like they are coming down on home-schooling and alternative private schooling. Girls are trying to get scholarships but are being told that there are a number of credits...
