Gymnasts College Gymnastics

[gymnat83]

I am currently a freshman and a second year platinum. I would like to compete in college for maybe a D3 school.
Possible Plan-
Freshman: platinum
Sophomore: diamond
Junior: diamond
Senior: sapphire
And I probably will also do high school gymnastics while also doing xcel. Any advice for this or requirement/walkons would be awesome!!

 

[Coach Kate]

Discuss this with your coach. They know your gymnastics and what would be a reasonable progression for you. I would encourage you to go watch a division three meet and think about whether or not you can see yourself competing those skills in this next three years. Division three also uses the level 10 code of points so it is very advanced gymnastics.

This is a good resource for you. It has examples of skills to aim for: https://www.ncsasports.org/college-...ymnastics,gymnastics scores – 9.300 or higher

Most likely, you'll want to look for colleges with a club team.

Thank you guys!! Would it be possible to specialize in vault and floor (maybe beam) as they are my strongest events.

If you have 10.0 start values, maybe 9.95 on vault
