Anon Trying to get into college D1

[Anonymous (7ede)]

So I’m wondering if there is any chance for me to go to D1 college. I am thirteen and a xcel silver gymnast. My highest skill in vault is a round off half twist off, in bars I have a Kip, clear hip, and I am working on cas handstands and flyways, on beam I have a back walkover back walkover series, back tuck and front tuck dismount and I am working back hand

The short answer: No

Regardless, enjoy your gymnastics! There are lots of opportunities to continue in the sport you love that are not D1 NCAA

D1 is exceedingly unlikely. But check out NAIGC. Club gymnastics has a lot to offer. Acro and Tumbling could also be an option.

NAIGC – For the Love of the Sport

hey d1 is extrremely hard for anyone to get into. Level 10s , not all are recruited. It's an extremely competitive sport and so many gymnasts and not enough spots. I don't want you to be feeling bad though! There are a lot of things you can do with gymnastics, coaching, club gymnastics, and it teaches you a lot of life skills. I would say to enjoy your journey, and there are a lot of different oppurtnuties that will be available after gymnastics.

Consider this: the summer you are a rising junior, coaches start contacting you as a recruit. Assuming you're currently in 7th grade, that's three years from now.

Now, watch a division one college gymnastics meet and think about if you would have a routine that could fit into those lineups in three years.

Set your sights on club, NAIGC, adult gymnastics, or maybe even another sport at a smaller school. I had never run cross country before I joined that team at my small division three school and it was such a key part of my college experience. You could coach, or even judge, or just take adult gymnastics classes. There are so many ways to stay involved.
