Our goal is to develop well-rounded, healthy, bright young athletes who are nurtured in a healthy competitive environment prepared to be tomorrows leaders. The USAIGC wants to maintain our gymnasts in our competitive program for 10+ years.

COMPETITIVE PROGRAM GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

• Develop a USAIGC & College Bound Competitive Program. Our Competitive Program is Membership driven, each USAIGC/IAIGC Club Member has
• one vote on all Competitive Rules, allowing them a vested right in the direction of our Competitive Program.
• To maintain a competitive program that uses a commonsense approach to rule development in conjunction with a positive scoring system for the self-esteem and self-worth for our gymnasts.
• To provide a competitive program that is educationally sound, progressively challenging, safe, and FUN!
• To have a competitive philosophy that believes Competition is not just about scores and placements; Competition is just as much about the total experience for our gymnasts, their families, coaches, and officials.

ABOUT

The USAIGC has created its own rules to meet our competitive goals and objectives and those Countries in our Competitive Program. The International Gymnasts benefits from our USAIGC College Bound Program. We used the NCAA Collegiate Rules for our overall program. We have created an intelligent competitive program that allows our gymnasts to move up our “competitive ladder” in an intelligent and logical manner. Our competitive program is based on athlete longevity; we want to intentionally slow down the learning process of skill development allowing the coach and gymnast time to develop more challenging skills. The USAIGC gymnast will work on lead-up skills, drills, strength, conditioning, and flexibility, while continuing to perfect execution. By doing this it will have a major impact on reducing injuries because skills will be mastered at a logical and safe pace for each gymnast. It is our goal is to have our gymnasts peak during their junior high school year and be prepared to compete in the Collegiate Program. Our Coaches wish to develop well-rounded, healthy, bright young ladies who are nurtured in a healthy competitive environment prepared to be tomorrows leaders.

WHAT THE USAIGC IS NOT

The USAIGC is not the National Governing Body (NGB) for the sport of Gymnastics. The USAIGC is not an Elite Program responsible in developing elite level athletes for our Olympic Team. However, the USAIGC supports the USAG and is a voting member on the USAG Association Board. Our Competitive Training Program will allow time for our gymnasts to be involved in school and activities with friends and family.
The USAIGC wants to maintain our gymnasts in our competitive program for 10+ years.

INTELLIGENT COMPETITIVE RULES

• Gymnasts Mobility: based on mastery of skills, not a score.
• Gymnasts do not have to move up to the next competitive level in consecutive order.
• When and what level to move up to is the Coaches decision based on the gymnast’s skill level
