We are going to a meet next week that will have a collegiate challenge one evening. There will be a meet & greet with autographs when it is over. There is a notation that it is for 8th grade and younger, as 9th and over would jeopardize NCAA eligibility. I don't have a high schooler, this is...

To add to the ninth graders already verbally committed to Division 1 schools, more and more are being added who have yet to set foot in a sophomore high school math, science or language class. From earlier threads, it appears most coaches, parents and athletes alike think this is a bad idea...

Here is a video of one of the girls at a competition in the UK yesterday, she was the last competor everyone else had finished so all eyes where on her, and wow did she go out with a bang! You can't see the audience reaction here but it was truly amazing, she could have easily got a standing...

I've heard that a gymnast can become disqualifed to be a college NCAA gymnast. I am unclear as to how/why that happens. Anyone want to educate me?

ESPNU is showing the women's NCAA championship right now.

watching the NCAA Championship online. Having seen many college meets, I know there a difference in deductions given in NCAA vs level 10. In general, what are they? Also wondering if there is a general guideline. Can an incoming college gymnast expect to increase her L10 score by a certain...

So we caught a good chunk of the NCAA championships last night. I had never seen this guy before, and I love the way he does gymnastics! Anyone who says that men can't be truly artistic needs to take a look at him. I can't find it on line, but his floor routine was really beautiful to me. Here's...

I just bought tickets for the NCAA Regionals at LSU. We live in Texas, my husband is a huge OU fan, I like Texas A&M, but my DD decided a while back that LSU is her team! She even has an LSU backpack this year. LSU Gymnastics is currently ranked #1 in the nation, and their regionals are on...

Coming from the UK I am clueless. But here university/college is becoming increasingly expensive. So it's at the back of my mind that college overseas might be an option one day for DD. Plus I think it would be a really great experience, living in the USA for a few years :). So; What makes...

As I understand, the U.S. Senior National team members recieve a training stipend of 2k$/month. Does this stipend affect NCAA eligibility because of amateurism rules? My dd recently qualified for the Colombian junior national team, and is eligibile for a monthly stipend, which isn't much...

I'm trying to attend Ohio State University , and go to the Olympics in 2016 , i graduate high school in 2014 , so I'm going right off to college, then the Olympics hopefully. I have a question for NCAA purposes , if i happen to go to the Olympics and win a medal do I get money for my medal or...

Anyone know how an athlete gets to the event finals whose team didn't make it to the finals? I know its possible, since there were athletes out there whose team didn't make it, but my question is how? A gymnast tied for fourth on the first day and his score would have tied for eigth on the day...

Hi, I have a question...... My older sister, she is a junior in high school and just became a level 9....... I'm wondering if she'd eligible for NCAA next year or later in the year, depending on how fast she progresses? Thank you this is helpful to both of us cuz I'm pretty much on the same track

With all the recent threads about the number of college scholarships available at the NCAA level, I wanted to post this very timely article about two walk-on gymnasts at Oregon State University who have become integral parts of this nationally ranked team. Just last week, these two women helped...

Ok, now that my DD's and I have caught the college meet bug, does anyone know how long the NCAA D1 regional meets usually last? University of Florida will be hosting the Southeast Regional meet and I am thinking about going. It starts at 6:00 on Saturday evening so I'm wondering how late a night...

Thanks to all who encouraged me to take my DD's (ages 6 &10) to the Florida Alabama meet (Gators rolled the Tide :)). We just got back and had a blast. Girls got lots and lots of autographs and are already asking if we can go to the next meet in a couple of weeks. Free admission for 17 and...

I am new to your board and mom of a 10yr old L7 gymnast. I also homeschool my kids for a myriad of reasons. My daughter currently has aspirations of competing at a college level. Obviously, a lot can happen between now and then but that is her current goal. As I set out planning her middle/high...

Hello, I'm James I currently write a blog called 'the world gymnast' (you may or may not of heard about it) but I'm in desperate need for an American citizen who frequently watches/keeps up with NCAA news and competitions. My blog viewers wanted that section and I'm british so I can't...
