They have great videos. See more on the IGCtv YouTube channel.
I was there week #7, 2012, during the Olympics. Girls from my club were particularly impressed by the Beam Gym. Every possible Beam training device in a dedicated building.
In the navigation on every page you’ll find a link to a promotion good through Feb. 27th – $50 off 2015 Camp registration. It’s available via the IGC home page, as well.
IGC has come on board as a new advertiser. Thanks for their support.
I particularly like IGC’s Professional Coaching Diploma (PCD) program:
… at the entry-level is 260 teaching and classroom hours spanning a four-week period. Daily lecture demonstrations, written and practical tests, as well as observational and critical coaching reviews build throughout the second, third and fourth years. This challenging program is designed for the career-minded individual intent on becoming a top-tier gymnastics coach.

I’m OK with the 9.85 on that vault. But I’d love to see College devalue the single twist to 9.90. Offering more incentive for those girls with more to compete it.

Update – Nastiafan has that DTY on one YouTube clip.

Li Ning’s worth around $700 million! Who says there’s no money in Gymnastics. 🙂
FIG posted an interview. Nothing radical.
