How to Use This List
State gymnastics associations sit under the GFI and run the competitions that feed Nationals. If you are starting out, your nearest registered club and your state association are the two doors that open everything else in this book.
Verify Before You Act
Rules, dates, age groups, and selection policies change. A serious athlete learns to confirm details from the official source, not from memory or hearsay.
