USA Gymnastics Championships

Every year, Procter & Gamble along with Covergirl and Gillette host the P&G Gymnastics Championships. In addition, some of the USA Gymnastics staff travel with those involved in this organization to run classes for other gymnastics staff. The goal is to help them become better instructors. They also offer these classes to give others the opportunity to learn different teaching styles and ask any questions in order to help them be better gymnastics instructors and help the gymnasts learn as much as possible.

In the afternoon, the gymnasts participate in a competition. Afterwards, there are a few more classes, and then an evening competition. This is a great learning experience for gymnastics instructors as it can help teach them a new way to teach a skill or help the gymnast learn in a different way. With this information, it can eliminate frustration on both the gymnast's end and the coach's end. Also, this opportunity can be a great way for instructors to meet other instructors who work in different gyms. As they spend all day together for multiple days, they can get to know each other and share ideas, such as drills to help gymnasts or a way to help push through fear on a skill. The gymnasts can attend the gymnastics competitions in the afternoon, which is a fun and learning experience for them. At these competitions, they are able to see many skills done correctly and may help them learn in a different way.

Currently, USA Gymnastics is promoting this event that will take place this year on August 13-16.
