Massachusetts School Gymnastics

Good news.

Earlier today, the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) Board of Directors voted 13-0, with one abstention, to reinstate boys high school gymnastics

USA Gymnastics worked closely with the National Federation of State High School Associations to provide boys’ gymnastics rules to run the state’s competitive high school program, which addressed one of the concerns noted when the Board originally decided to drop the sport last January.

… Denise and Richard Ellis, coach of the Braintree High School boys gymnastics team, had been among those working with the MIAA and national groups to craft updated rules.

“It was a long journey but it was a good journey,” Denise said. “There was a sense of relief that we’re going to be able to remain the way we have since the early sixties.”
