college

I know the topic of gymnast abuse has come up in the past and we have some parents who have witnessed firsthand..... check out this craziness at penn state. The comments are even crazier...

anyone know about what percent of college gymnasts were elite gymnasts vs. what percent were multi-year level 10s?

D and I watched a college meet tonight. It was Illinois, Cal and Air Force. Illinois was incredible. They posted the highest team pommel score of the season in the NCAA! 4 of 5 were over 15 and the one one that was not was a 14.85. Just a clinic on pommel horse. And the highest high bar...

Was wondering if any of your gymnasts participated in these summer camps offered by various NCAA programs? If so, was it worth it? -did they learn new skills/techniques which they were able to bring back to their home gym? -did it help in the college recruitment process? -what age/level...

My daughter is going on her very first college visit this week and I am feeling a little clueless. What types of things should we ask him? Any advice? Thanks for your help!

I am aware of some programs available for high school students that allow them to take College courses as a high school student. Sometimes this is called "dual enrollment" (dually enrolled in high school and college). Some of the programs I have seen allow the student to just take classes of...

Just curious.....................

I have read so many conflicting versions of information regarding college gym from many different sources and I am utterly confused. Whether it is from this board, articles elsewhere, coaches, etc. My guess is that there is no one answer, but here is my question. At what point is it no longer...

I'm trying to decide if we have time to catch a D1 gymnastics meet before our flight.

A couple of recent threads have got me interested in learning more about the U.S. college scene. So is it common there for kids to go to college on a scholarship? Do a lot of kids who do sport 'aim' to try to get a college scholarship out of their sport? What sports can you get scholarships...

Anyone have any thoughts on what the availability of official college visits is these days? I heard a speaker at a recent NCAA workshop say that when he was a gymnastics coach at a D1 school he used to give out official visits like they were candy. He coached about 12 years ago, but it seems...

Hi! I'm more of a lurker than a poster and I enjoy learning from you all! I have a question, but background info may be helpful. My daughter is a 13 year old level 9. Her story is a crazy one... She started level L4 at 6, L5 at 7, L6 at 8, "skipped" 7, L8 at 9 (regional qualifier, fell apart...

I agreed to let my 10 year old and 8 year old go to a university run gymnastics camp. There is no one else from our gym attending this camp. Since they have never been before does anyone have advice that I can give them about the camp? Advice for mom?? Anything I should pack for them that may...

My DD started K a year early (her b'day is close to the cut-off and she was admitted b/c she was academically and socially ready). This will mean that she's a year younger at her high school graduation than some kids -even more than a year than others as red-shirting is so popular. It occurred...

My DD11 started gymnastics last year and competed level 2 and level 3. She appears to have a natural talent and has taken to the sport and "live, breathes, sleeps" gymnastics. We had a gym change and she is on their fast track to compete level 5, and training up as well. Her goal is a college...

Hello all! I have been reading for a long time but this is my first post/question here. My dd will be 10 in late summer and competing at L5 in the fall. We started gymnastics late, at the age of 8 so she attended 1 rec class, competed at 3 and then 4. Our gym has a strict 1 level per year...

Does anyone know if there is a comprehensive list of which colleges have club teams? I know Univ of Florida does, as that's where my 12 year old is setting her sights (but we are pretty sure she won't make their TEAM). But it's gotten me wondering what other schools she might be interested in...

I hope I'm adding this link correctly... http://www.cbsnews.com/news/womens-gymnastics-university-utah-draws-march-madness-like-crows/

Anyone know where a boy can go if he wants to do gymnastics, and become a pilot? (besides Air Force).

I was looking for info on what the bonuses in men's Gymnatics are worth and came across an article (posted below) about women's college gymnastics. The article says that for college athletes a 9.7 is only OK, a 9.8 is average and you need a 9.9 or 10 to have a "great score". Is this true...
