NCAA sport – injuries before College

The majority of gymnasts have had a major injury before getting to College.

Ours is a youth sport. And a dangerous sport.

36% of NCAA women sustained at least one major sports-related injury before entering college. Highest by sport: Gymnastics 77%, Soccer 47%.

Those two sports are also ranked 1 and 2 in % of NCAA women who started specializing in that sport by age 12 (NCAA GOALS study). pic.twitter.com/ERVyZ2RxcB
