Question I want to send my daughter (13 years old) to study one year to USA, we are from Mexico. She is gymnast, level 9, so I want her to keep practicing. Do you know if there is a school with gymnastics as main sport?
Thanks and regards // Raul
Answer Raul,
There are way too many to list I suggest looking in Houston TX It is probably the closest to you and they have several clubs there and many excellent coaches.
I competed with Kurt in my college days and Recommend you check out his club in Frisco TX. Here is his link: http://www.kurtthomas.net/
USA Gymnastics has a club search page that should help you to contact and find information about all the registered clubs in the US I recommend you read about the clubs and contact them and visit prior to committing to anything. Many of the Elite clubs with the top coaches often have a few gymnasts that travel from afar to train with the best.
My Sister lived at a training school at that age and did very well for several years, but it was also very important to look beyond the gym at the coaches and living arrangements and the area as well.
The USA gymnastics search link is:http://www2.usa-gymnastics.org/search/
I hope this will help you find what you are looking for.
