    NCAA Let’s talk skills/strategies for recruiting

    I have noticed some gyms will compete girls as level 10s but will compete “easier” skills that may still earn a 10.0 sv or slightly below. (I realize no lvl 10 skills are easy but there is a wide range). You will see easier, cleaner routines out score more difficult ones that have more...

    Parents College camp question

    Hi, my level 8 daughter is interested in attending a college camp this summer. Since she will have completed level 8, it probably makes sense to go to a ‘high performance’ camp. However, she does not want colleges looking at her and ruling her out as a prospect because at her level she is...

    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...

    NCAA Recruiting roster full

    Is there a way to find out which colleges have no spots left ? Should you be direct and ask if you have exchanged several coversations with the Coach?

    Parents Another recruiting / Instagram question

    Apologies in advance for this somewhat duplicate question, I was going to reply to an older thread, but figured I’d get more specific advice as a new post. When should I start a gymnastics Instagram for recruiting purposes for my daughter? Is it once she’s competing level 10? Once she’s...

    NCAA When does a kid need to start thinking about NCAA recruiting?

    Hi! I'll try to keep this post brief - I know there are a lot of posts out there that I've tried to follow about NCAA recruiting timelines etc. but I haven't found any that specifically address younger gymnasts with college goals (if I'm missing it please point me in the right direction :). My...

    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

    I have a high school sophomore and don't know much about how recruiting works. I am aware she can have no contact with college coaches until June but is there anything we can do before that to 'catch the coaches attention'? She has a youtube channel and adds new videos regularly... She had...

    WAG Recruiting Trips?

    Does anybody know what’s allowed in the recruiting process right now with the dead period extension? We know some girls are visiting colleges, but we have been a little gun shy about those kinds of things. We don’t want to break the rules, but we also don’t want to be overcautious and miss...

    WAG CaptainU? -- USAG recruiting website?

    I was renewing my daughter's USAG membership and am being asked if she'd like a free college recruiting profile with CaptainU. I have never heard of this site. I'm not opposed to having her listed in a database but is this something new, or did I just not notice it in the past? Anyone know...

    WAG NCAA’s new recruiting rules

    So I’ll probably regret posting this, but it seems the new rule about when colleges can make an offer to gymnasts isn’t being followed. In the past week, I’ve seen several commitment announcements for gymnasts in grades 7, 8, and 9. Seventh grade!!? So anyone who has the inside scoop, is the...
