I don't really understand why the push for the gymnastics scholarship when you just started gymnastics this year...I don't know what your athletic past has been or what type of gym you are training at but to start gymnastics in your junior year (age 16?) and expect to be a level 10 with scholarship potential in a year's time seems very unrealistic to me as the parent of a Level 10 (who has seen many good 10s get scholarships and many did not ..they did get academic money) . If youlike gymnastics, I would continue but I would definitely explore other options for college money. You could probably do gymnastics at a D3 school but they do not usually give athletic money. I don't mean to be negative but I don't want to give you false hope either....

You are absolutely right. It's very, very far fetched to say the least.

I do have back up plans. My GPA and ACT scores will get me a pretty good chunk of cash to just about any college I want to go to.


I appreciate your concern; however, I intend to ignore it.

Good luck to your level 10. =]

I still have about two years before I will be trying for NCAA. But, yesterday after failing horribly at most of my skills said a short prayer. Then threw my double full, and stuck it for the first time.


God is good.

i think it's not very easy to get a scholership in gymnastics ,but if you are getting good coaching from your coach and as well as geeting good remarks from him and you have that much ability, guts and stamina so can get probably the scolership.

If you don't get into a NCAA team do NAIGC. There are over 70 schools with it. It is just club gymnastics at college and most have male teams. This is my first year doing it and just got back from the Nationals. It was the most amazing experience ever and there are so many males and females that are amazing at gymnastics but could not get on a varsity team or just decided to leave them. It is a very relaxed thing but it is for any level. We compete with level 9 rules but many do higher skills anyways. There are a few on my team that are good enough for varsity but there are so many schools that have to get rid of their varsity teams (and there are even less men programs) so it is getting hard to find a team. Plus there are less men scholarships than women so only the top of the top will get them. (you probably have to have been level 10 for a few years or elite) Trust me you would have a lot of fun and then you could go to a school that you would know you could get an academic scholarship from. I didn't know NAIGC existed until i came to college and i was about to quit gymnastics (i did level 9 for many years) but then i found out my college had a team and joined it. I really didn't understand how it worked but i would not have it any other way. We have a lot of fun and you get the chance to compete whatever events you want to. Don't give up on your dream just know there are other choices out there. Good luck!

here is the list of colleges that have teams.
