  • Policy for Transgender and Non-Binary Inclusion
    USA Gymnastics POLICY FOR TRANSGENDER & NON-BINARY ATHLETE INCLUSION Updated October 2020 INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE USA Gymnastics supports diversity and inclusion in all aspects of gymnastics and is committed to providing a safe, supportive and welcoming environment for transgender and non-binary people within our community. USA Gymnastics has developed this policy and accompanying education in a proactive effort to help guide and support members of the gymnastics community. Transgender is an umbrella term used to describe people whose gender identity does not correspond with the sex they were assigned at birth. Many identities fall under the transgender umbrella, some of which are: • Transgender boys or men: Those who were assigned female at birth whose gender identity is male. • Transgender girls or women: Those who were assigned male at birth whose gender identity is female • Non-binary: Those who experience their gender identity and/or gender expression as falling outside the binary categories of male or female. Not all non-binary people identify as transgender. In all cases, it is critical to respect and listen to the individual and allow them to tell you how they identify. The goal of this policy is to provide direction to member clubs, meet directors, judges, parents, and transgender and non-binary athletes on how transgender and non-binary athletes may participate in competitive gymnastics. This policy will respect the privacy of affected individuals, is based on medical facts, and is consistent with applicable discrimination laws. Because we know this is an area of research that is continuing to grow and change, this policy will be reviewed and updated at least every 3 years.

  • 2021-24 High Performance Plan
    ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW The 2017-2020 Quad was a pivotal period for USA Gymnastics (USAG). The organization faced numerous challenges and experienced extraordinary changes. Despite these challenges our athletes continued to demonstrate athletic excellence highlighted by gold-medal winning performances by the Women’s team and a historic World Championship for Rhythmic in which two athletes finished in the top 10 for the first time ever. The USA Gymnastics that has emerged from the crisis is a new organization led by new leadership with a new athlete-centric mission and a new set of values that prioritizes athlete safety and wellness while still supporting athletes to achieve their athletic dreams. In this High Performance Plan, USA Gymnastics asks for the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC)’s support in achieving athletic excellence on the world stage while providing the resources needed to give our elite athletes the holistic mental and physical support they need to thrive, not just on the Olympic stage, but also in life beyond gymnastics. Mission and Values The new USA Gymnastics is a mission-driven organization the puts what is best for the athlete community at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. We listen to our athletes and provide platforms to embrace and amplify their voices. We consistently seek ways to help our athletes grow and thrive, both on and off the field of play. This is emphasized in USAG’s new mission statement: To build a community and culture of health, safety, and excellence, where athletes can thrive in sport and in life.
