Help Us Support Gymnastics Clubs Affected by Recent Hurricanes
The Gymnastics Association of Texas, in partnership with the National Gymnastics Association (NGA), Tumbl Trak, and iClassPro, is raising funds to help gymnastics clubs devastated by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. These clubs are essential to their communities, providing a safe space for young athletes to train and grow.
100% of donations will go directly to the affected gyms to help replace equipment and repair facilities. You can contribute by donating funds, providing new or gently used equipment, or sharing this message within the gymnastics community.

A Spotlight on Men’s Gymnastics
In light of the upcoming Paris Olympics and significant changes to the FIG code and USAG Program Routines, our convention pays special attention to men’s gymnastics. The program includes a comprehensive update on compulsory routines and technical sequences for various age groups, delivered by experts such as Tom Meadows and Sam McArthur. Live demonstrations on apparatus like the Pommel Horse and Parallel Bars, led by esteemed coaches including Matt Henry, will provide real-time insights and coaching techniques.
Noteworthy speakers such as Ivan Ivankov, a gymnastics world champion, and other renowned figures like Felippe Mendonca and Lance Ringnald will delve into topics ranging from developing a champion’s mindset to effective program culture and the intricacies of athlete and team management. Their sessions are set to inspire and equip coaches with the tools needed to foster excellence in their athletes and programs.
