USAG Athlete Member breakdown/statistics

The link below shows the USAG Athlete Member breakdown or statistics. It is dated March 1, 2007. So, it has been a few years. Many of you have probably seen it already. But I thought I'd post it for those you've not seen it and are interested, just for reference.

Wow--that's some interesting information! I find the last few pages particularly interesting for the women's program:

5 & under 0.1%
6-8 YO 8.4%
9-10 YO 25.3%
11-12 YO 30.4%
13-14 YO 20.8%
15-16 YO 9.8%
17-18 YO 4.3%
19-20 YO 0.6%
21-30 YO 0.2%
31-82 YO 0.0%

You can clearly see the dramatic decrease of gymnasts by the age of 15 when high school starts for most kids. Very interesting.

That is very interesting. I also noticed the large decline in athletes as the progress through their teens
