WELCOME TO THE NEW YORK STATE BOYS' GYMNASTICS WEB SITE

Welcome Coaches, Gymnasts, Parents, Judges and Gymnastics Fans to the New York State Boys' Gymnastics Website. The purpose of this website is to keep you informed about all aspects of the USA-Gymnastics Men's Program in New York. New York State is divided into Upstate and Downstate. This website will provide information on all of the major New York gymnastics events as well as Regional and National events of interest to us. It will also list Downstate Local meets and events. For a more detailed listing of Upstate Local meets, events and issues, please check out the Upstate Web site. http://upstatenygymnastics.thedigitalman.net/ The New York State Chairman for boys' gymnastics is Carl Schrade. Carl has been the head coach at World Cup Gymnastics for the past 13 years.

HELPING TO SAVE COLLEGE GYMNASTICS
At our NY State Coaches meeting we voted to help College Gymnastics with a donation of $1 per gymnast per meet to come out of the entry fees. As many of you know, college gymnastics is in trouble. When I was in college, there were hundreds of college gymnastics programs across the country. Today there are fewer than 20. I am hoping that our example in New York will be copied at the regional and national level. If this happens, we can really make a difference. I feel that with our support, the College Intercollegiate Gymnastics Support Program can do two things: Help save college programs that are in trouble and start up new NCAA programs in colleges that already have an existing club program. If you would like to help, or if you have any questions about the MIGS Program, please check out their web site at http://www.migsp.org/

CONGRATULATIONS
