Since the day IGI started, we have been committed to top-notch gymnastics performance in all levels of training and competition. Over the course of the past 25 years, more than 98% of all IGI athletes who have graduated from our program have received NCAA full-tuition scholarships for gymnastics. Each year, dozens of college coaches infiltrate our walls to get a shot at some of the best gymnasts in the country. Below is a list of those athletes and the schools they have attended.
