USA Gymnastics is the national governing body for the sport in the United States. It gets this designation from the U.S. Olympic Committee and the International Gymnastics Federation. Based in Indianapolis, the organization is committed to creating a culture that empowers and supports its athletes and focuses on its highest priority, the safety and well-being of the athletes. USA Gymnastics sets the rules and policies that govern the sport of gymnastics, including selecting and training the U.S. Gymnastics Teams for the Olympics and World Championships; promoting and developing gymnastics on the grassroots and national levels, as well as a safe, empowered and positive training environment; and serving as a resource center for members, clubs, fans and gymnasts throughout the United States. USA Gymnastics also provides continuing education resources for new and experienced coaches, instructors and professional members. USA Gymnastics encompasses six disciplines: women’s gymnastics, men’s gymnastics, trampoline and tumbling, rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatic gymnastics and gymnastics for all (aka group gymnastics).
USA Gymnastics is committed to creating a culture that empowers and supports our athletes. The organization has and will continue to take specific and concrete steps to promote athlete safety and prevent future abuse by vigorously enforcing the USA Gymnastics Safe Sport Policy, which requires mandatory reporting; defines misconduct; and sets standards to limit one-on-one interactions between Adult Participants and Minor Athletes. USA Gymnastics has fully adopted the mandatory components of the U.S. Center for SafeSport's Minor Athletes Abuse Prevention Policies (MAAPP) and produced a policy consistent with the MAAPP as approved by the U.S. Center for SafeSport, which can be found here. Other efforts taken to strengthen that commitment include establishing a dedicated, toll-free number (833-844-SAFE), the safe sport email address ([email protected]), and online reporting to simplify the reporting process; development of a comprehensive education plan for members; and adopting bylaw amendments to provide the basis for further developing our safe sport programs and governance.
The 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization was established in Tucson, Ariz., in 1963. The first Board of Directors began the time-consuming task of creating a viable national program for gymnastics in the United States. During the mid-1960s the United States had scarcely 7,000 athletes competing a limited schedule. The only major international events for gymnasts were the Olympic Games and the Pan American Games. Due to the hard work of U.S. gymnastics pioneers, such as Frank Bare, George Gulack, Dean McCoy, Gene Wettstone and Arthur Gander, USA Gymnastics, formerly doing business as the U.S. Gymnastics Federation, gained membership into the FIG in 1970, opening the door to numerous opportunities for U.S. gymnasts. In the last 50-plus years, the sport has grown consistently.
Today, more than 200,000 athletes, professionals and clubs are members of USA Gymnastics. Throughout the year, USA Gymnastics provides educational opportunities for coaches and judges, as well as gym club owners and administrators, through regional Congresses, the National Congress and Trade Show, and USA Gymnastics University. Approximately 4,000 competitions and events throughout the USA are sanctioned annually.–>
