EMBRACING GLOBAL EXPANSION

We have pioneered a thriving international gymnastics program known as IAIGC – the International Association of Independent Gymnastic Clubs. This initiative involves hosting international gymnastic competitions, providing a competitive platform for all our Club Members. The USAIGC/IAIGC is actively advancing into a realm of global gymnastic excellence.

COMPETITIVE OPPORTUNITIES

  1. Gymnasts have the opportunity to compete on their next competitive level on up to two events, preventing the sense of being “stuck in a level.”

  2. The USAIGC/IAIGC embraces individual event specialists, allowing our gymnasts to compete in up to six events. This approach ensures variety and prevents boredom, eliminating the feeling of being “stuck in a level.”

  3. Our qualification procedures offer flexibility:

    • State Championship qualification is attainable at any sanctioned USAIGC/IAIGC competition.
    • Regional Championship scores, set just 1 point higher than State Championship scores, can be achieved at any USAIGC-IAIGC Sanctioned Competition.
    • Gymnasts can qualify for the World Championship by competing in State and/or Regional Championships.

At the heart of the USAIGC/IAIGC competitive program is a belief that the competition experience is just as important as the competition itself. Our gymnasts thrive in an environment that fosters friendship, shaping successful, healthy, and well-rounded athletes. This is the essence of the USAIGC/IAIGC competitive program.

 

As President of USAIGC/IAIGC, I am proud to declare that parents, Member Clubs, and coaches have collaboratively cultivated a nurturing competitive environment.
Our IGC gymnasts are envisioned to emerge as well-rounded, successful, intelligent, and goal-oriented young ladies, poised to conquer the challenges of tomorrow.

These principles have been my lifelong belief, and it is an immense honor to represent the dedication of our Membership Clubs, Coaches, Gymnasts, and Parents.
