UPDATE: Check the comments. Many disagree with this ranking, especially the absence of WOGA, arguably the most successful club in the world. Also, All Olympia.

The 2008 Top Ten Women’s Teams in America
… This year’s list included three clubs from California. While in gymnastics terms NorCal and SoCal are different states, the reality is that it is still one great place for competitive gymnastics. The Pacific Northwest also flexed some muscle and two clubs displayed awesome accomplishment. Oregon Gymnastics Academy (OAG), and Leading Edge Gymnastics (LEGA – Nice job Tony!) deserve special recognition. …
You need not be a big traditional powerhouse to make the list. At Number 10 is Folgers who did a lot with limited numbers. How many gyms their size sends 8 gymnasts to National level competition? This year with Samantha Pedigo and Marissa Housley both finishing in the top ten nationally, Folgers made themselves known.
The # 9 gym, GAGE, did not finish as high as in previous years but their coaching staff keeps turning out great competitors.
Wonderful to see Parkettes, #8, once again at the very top as a competitive club on this their 40th anniversary.
A gym made up of teams (Levels 5, 6, 7, 9, & 10) of state champions, the Colorado Gymnastics Institute comes in at #7.
Orlando Metro, a home for top gymnasts, is #6, another MSO “Atta-Boy†to Jeff and his staff of professionals who keep producing champion level competitors.
When MSO says Gliders, MSO means as in Charter Oaks, as in awesome year! At #5 they also have a young coaching staff that is Hecka good.
A powerhouse type year in a state (and region) full of strong gyms. That is why Gedder’s Twistars is #4.
#3 Airborne is one of those name other clubs have, but this is the high flyer in Santa Clara.
Most likely known for men’s gymnastics (home to John Roethlisberger) the women at #2 Twin City Twisters made a strong statement this year, and MSO will love watching them compete at the collegiate level.
Who is the Top Club in America? MSO could write a book on what these gymnasts and their coaches accomplished. Across the board, all levels, at Invitationals and Qualifiers, they were consistent. To be NUMBER 1, you had to get past BYERS OF SACRAMENTO.
CONGRATS to Debbie and Eli Rodriguez for their selection as top club in the USA.
