NCAA
Many UK-based gymnasts have successfully transitioned from UK club gymnastics to prestigious, fully funded collegiate scholarships in the USA, where they have the unique opportunity to earn a four-year degree while competing for their university. This pathway offers a fantastic way to pursue both academic and athletic excellence, opening doors to future opportunities both in and out of the gym.
The NGA structure is proud to support this ongoing development, offering a pathway that aligns directly with the NCAA collegiate system. By competing within this structure, gymnasts are given every opportunity to refine their skills and build routines that will impress college coaches, enhancing their prospects for collegiate recruitment.
