The NAIGC is a nonprofit corporation whose primary purpose is to support collegiate gymnastics clubs in the United States. The purpose of the NAIGC is to expand opportunities for participation in the sport of gymnastics and to promote interaction among collegiate gymnastics clubs by providing structure for competition on local, regional, and national levels; facilitating communication; and building a community of support and camaraderie that encourages sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, and fun. The first men’ s national championships was held in 1989 with only three men’ s teams. In 1991 the first women’s national championships was held. The first coed nationals was held in 1996. Participation since then has increased significantly with around 50 clubs attending nationals each year and more than 500 competitors. The NAIGC board of directors was established in 2006. The NAIGC is a great place for male and female gymnasts with any level of experience, ranging from absolutely none to a lot. The main goal of the NAIGC is to provide a fun environment for college students to continue/start their gymnastics careers.
