One of my long term goals as a gymnast has been to get a scholarship to a university for gymnastics. I understand that at this point I don't have much of a chance, so I am looking towards division 3 schools which unfortunately don't give scholarships.
Here are the skills I'm working on and have competed this year that I would hope to have by the end of my senior year:
vault: tsuk open tuck and competed pike
floor: backwards 2.5 twist, front 1.5 twist to backspring, back 1.5 punch layout and competed back double and back 1.5 punch tuck
beam: side somi, backspring backtuck, torjette full and competed aerial, back tuck, switch leap, and geiner pike off the end.
bars: flyaway double twist, toes on handstand, blind change and competed flyaway 1.5 twist, free hip handstand, and counter up.
so I have a few questions if anyone would be willing to answer them.
1. do I have any chance to compete for a division 3 school? would division 2 be out of the question?
2. are there any other skills that I should be working on to make myself more eligible?
3. How do I go about applying or getting recruited since I live in canada?
4. When do I need to start applying? I am going into my junior year this year.
5. what do I need in the academic side to get recruited. I heard I need to take my SAT's? anything else?
6. Legally, Is there anything I need to do? I already have my US citizenship since I am a dual citizen.
Any information would be appreciated!
