USAIGC Officials Free Clinics

Clinician: USAIGC/IAIGC Technical Director Mary Bakke.  Paul Spadaro, President USAIGC/IAIGC.                             
The USAIGC/IAIGC strongly believes in a partnership between our USAIGC Coaches and USAIGC/NAWGJ Officials. The USAIGC/IAIGC Conducts Free Rule & Policy Clinics with both our Coaches & Officials together. The USAIGC believes  this type of educational experience leads to a better understanding of our Rules and Policies and a positive effect on the consistency of scoring. It is our USAIGC/IAIGC Officials job to judge each gymnasts performance based on skill requirements and execution. Inflated Scores hurt the overall competitive program.
