Gymnastike has a great page for coaches, parents and gymnasts considering future opportunities in the NCAA:
College Gymnastics Recruiting – What are they looking for?
That page links to interviews with Suzanne Yoculan, Miss Val and many other Head Coaches.
A good starting point is a series of videos presented by Tim O’Connel from Central Michigan University. “This is footage of a lecture he gave to parents at Azarian’s Gymnastics in California.” Begin here: Gymnastics Recruiting Info Session, Part 1
In this next clip Greg Marsden bemoans the reality that recruiting is happening at a younger and younger age.

Once an athlete is committed to making application, I recommend they contact Victory Collegiate Consulting for advice on how to put together your video and paperwork. This investment is even more critical if you live outside the U.S.A.
