I encourage just about every female Canadian gymnast with the skill level to consider College Gymnastics in the States.

It’s a wonderful opportunity.

I generally discourage Canadian male gymnasts as there are too few scholarships for MAG. They can get a better deal going to school and training in Canada.

Of course some Canadians don’t want to go to another country for University. (Some gymnasts from Quebec prefer doing University in French.)

Ellie Black, for example:

… “I chose to stay in Canada and go to school here and compete for Canada because I love where I live and the support that we have. …

Ellie was happy with her club environment, coaches and teammates. She wanted to train FIG 100% of the time.

She trains at Alta Gymnastics in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Dan Kendig be praised. It’s a very rich University, of course.

MAG and WAG. Should open by January 2020.

She announced it on Instagram. End of an era.

She discusses it in this Pac12 interview.

Or listen to her interview with Sam Peszek.

Here’s some excellent news for Men’s College Gymnastics.

The Arizona State Men’s Gymnastics Team is back, and we are BIGGER than ever!

… We join the gymnastics community in hoping there are options available to save gymnastics at UIC.

We have been in touch with the gymnastics staff at UIC, and once they have more information, USA Gymnastics stands ready to work with UIC and the men’s and women’s community to do everything we can to help these programs continue after this season.

USAG

GymACT is an organization fighting to help create, grow and maintain Men’s collegiate gymnastics programs in the USA.

Read their take on the recent announcement that University of Illinois at Chicago will be dropping both their Men’s and Women’s teams at the end of this season.

Focusing on positive development and exposure

Thanks Ono.
