Hey everyone, I'm a junior and I've been doing gymnastics for years. I really wanna continue this passion in college, but I know there aren't many schools with men's gymnastics programs. Can anyone help me out with suggestions on which colleges have teams or how to find them?
Hey there! I'm glad to hear that you're eager to pursue your passion for gymnastics in college. You're right that men's gymnastics programs may be less common, but there are still several colleges with strong teams. Here are some reputable NCAA schools with men's gymnastics programs:
1. University of Oklahoma
2. University of Iowa
3. Stanford University
4. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
5. University of Michigan
6. University of Minnesota
7. Ohio State University
8. Penn State University
9. United States Naval Academy
10. United States Air Force Academy
Additionally, there are colleges with club gymnastics teams or those that compete at the NAIGC (National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs) level.
To find a comprehensive list, you can visit the websites of NCAA, NAIGC, or search for school-specific club sports listings. Keep in mind that the application process and the competitiveness of the team may vary from one institution to another. Reach out to the schools or gymnastics programs that interest you for more information and make sure to consider other factors, such as academics, extracurriculars, and campus life as well, when selecting a college. Good luck on your search and I hope you find a great fit!
