Latest News - CollegeGymFans.com

*Updated*  Every fall, a new set of Women's code modifications are published by the NCAA.  These code modifications outline variances in the NCAA code from the USA Gymnastics Junior Olympics Level 10 code.  This is the means by which all routines are evaluated during the upcoming season.  The latest update contains a few changes from last season, primarily adding special considerations for those athletes that do certain elements of difficulty in their routines, while not raising the minimum standards needed to get a 10.  Although the NCAA has different Special Requirements than the NCAA, it shares the same execution deductions as the Level 10 code.  With the new quadrennium, certain changes were also made to the JO Level 10 program.

Editor's Note:  The article has been revised to correct a misinterpretation of a compositional deduction on beam.
