future USA Gymnastics Training Centre?

Interesting idea.

There are pros and cons with National Training Centres. Recall that Gymnastics Australia quit the Australian Institute of Sport due to problems.

MAG and all other FIG disciplines would benefit most by training with WAG, the highest profile discipline.

IF it happens, USAG will have to choose a location. More central geographically would make for easier travel logistics.

Certainly any State with abortion restrictions should not be considered. After all, USAG wants to call this a “Wellness Center“.

Worst are those in dark orange.

Axios – Where abortion has been banned now that Roe v. Wade is overturned

Human rights and safety of athletes should be highest priority for parents sending their children off to camp.

USOPTC MAG Resident Program dissolved

It was launched January 1990.

Current Head Coach Syque Caesar was informed Nov. 14th that his program was being discontinued. As was his job.

MAG Camps are still scheduled in Colorado Springs. The next on Dec 17-21, 2022.

Many of the guys from USOPTC and Syque himself are moving to EVO Gymnastics in Sarasota, Florida. A new privately funded training centre offering U.S. MAG senior team members salaries, with performance-based bonuses.

USOPTC lasted 32 years. How long will EVO continue?

HOPEFULLY, this will be a change for the better for U.S. National Team members.
