College Gymnastics is a great option for gymnasts who want to study but still keep competing in a high level. College Gymnastics has a great tradition of being a great place for gymnasts to enjoy their sport while still giving the student gymnasts room to focus on studies.

There is around 6 gymnastics scholarships in a Men’s Gymnastics team and around 12 gymnastic scholarships in the Women’s gymnastics team. To be able to get recruited as a gymnast with a scholarship, the athlete needs to be at a high national level within his or hers country.

ICAC recommend gymnasts who like to study in the U.S. with a gymnastics scholarship to apply so that they enter their first school year in the fall semester (August). This is to be better prepared both athletically and academically. So make sure you contact your potential universities far ahead.

The biggest sport in USA and college athletics is College Football, everything else is secondary to that. American Football have the same stature soccer has in the rest of the world; it is without any doubt the king of all sports in USA. So what are the possibilities for an international athlete to play American football at a university level? Well, they are very tough. Basketball and American Football remains to be the hardest sports for international athletes to get recruited to. While basketball is starting to open up to international recruits, American Football still have a very few athletes with a international background.

Our recommendation to International Football players is to be early in contacting coaches and universities, let them know that you are interested in joining their program. And when you present yourself make sure you present yourself as a person who will make an impact in the program and not just somebody who will participate.

Of course it is important to have the athletic skills to offer the University so make sure you target a school where you will receive playing time and where you will be able to cope with level of play. Focus on a good recruiting video where it shows highlights of your achievement on the field.
