increasing the # of American College gymnasts
For many years the National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs (NAIGC) has been promoting the expansion of collegiate and adult gymnastics opportunities in the United States.
Our membership has grown to over 1750 members from more than 100 clubs.
Beyond the NCAA, there is a growing divide between the increasing demand for collegiate gymnastics, dwindling funding for gymnastics scholarships, and rising tuition. In 2017, we launched a scholarship program to help bridge this gap and every year we have been able to award $1500 scholarships to two male and two female athletes each year. …
The NAIGC is trying to raise $10,000 towards 4 new scholarships.

Mark Williams interview
Dave Tilley posted a good interview with the legendary Oklahoma coach following Worlds.
- 2019 World Championships, and how he felt Team USA did
- The new leadership at USA Gymnastics, and his interactions with Li Li Leung
- Mark’s thoughts on the year coming leading up to the 2020 Olympics
- What he thinks coaches and gymnasts need to be successful during meet season
- How he thinks about recruiting and running practices
- His best advice for young coaches and gymnasts just getting started
I came away happy to hear the Worlds coaches are being consulted on the next USAG hire for the Men’s program. Mark is optimistic about Li Li, so far.
Mark felt the U.S. Worlds team did a great job overall. The only unhappy surprise was their poor performance in the qualifying round.
I was amused to hear that Mark’s toughest coaching challenge all-time was … preschoolers. 😀

Rest in Peace Melanie Coleman
Terrible news.
Melanie Coleman died after being injured on a Bars dismount in training.
“We are heartbroken and stunned by Melanie’s passing,” head coach Mary Fredericks said. “She was an incredibly hard worker and a sweet-spirited young woman. …”
Melanie’s family has set up a GoFundMe.com page, as well as a page that coordinates meal donations to the family at MealTrain.com.

Greg Marsden – pundit
More than anyone else, it was Greg Marsden who make University of Utah’s women’s gymnastics team the model for every other program.
Like me, Dvora Meyers follows Greg on social media:
Though Marsden stopped coaching four years ago, he hasn’t completely disappeared from the sport. Shortly after his retirement, he resurfaced on Twitter and is, according to his bio, a “haggard, old, jaded, irrelevant, narcissistic, hypocritical NCAA gym fan & social media uninfluencer.”
