College gymnastics in the U.S. offers elite facilities, top coaching, and a supportive team environment—allowing athletes to grow both athletically and academically. NCAA competition gives international gymnasts the chance to train at a high level while earning a degree, with many Olympic and national athletes choosing the U.S. for its scholarships and opportunities. The resilience, discipline, and precision gained through gymnastics also prepare students for success beyond the sport.
College Gymnastics Structure
NCAA Women’s Gymnastics
Extremely competitive; scholarships available for top-level gymnasts with international or national experience.
NCAA Men’s Gymnastics
Few remaining programs (around 16 schools), all elite level; scholarships are limited and competition is fierce.
Club/NAIGC Programs
Ideal for athletes desiring to stay active in gymnastics without NCAA demands. NAIGC offers structured competition but minimal financial support (some small academic awards)
What Coaches Look For
Competition scores from national or international events
Video of routines (vault, bars, beam, floor, etc.)
Academic performance and English proficiency
Positive attitude, teamwork, and consistency
