Our Story
Philosophy: The American Gymnastics Association is dedicated to the development of artistic optional gymnastics for girls!
AGA was developed in 1984 to meet the needs of gymnasts who were interested in competing optional routines. The program is unique in that advancement upward through the levels depends on scores and ability not age. Coaches meet on an annual basis to revise and improve the competitive program. Every coach in AGA has the opportunity to contribute.
Mission
The entire program is designed and works for the benefit of the gymnast!
American Gymnastics Association is a non profit Texas based organization that is run by coaches. All competitors compete optional routines, a great alternative to compulsory based gymnastics. Rules, requirements and difficulty are increased from Junior Prep to Senior Elite. If you need help with rules, requirements, and routines, a mentor coach can be assigned to assist you. Mobility is based on All Around scores, not age group. Because of this, most gymnasts move up several levels during the year and are constantly in meets against gymnasts who are at the same skill and score level. It makes for a competitive and fun environment where everyone has a chance to receive awards.

Our History
American Gymnastics Association has been a working association for over 40 years. It was created to give athletes alternatives in competitive gymnastics. One where each athlete can feel successful at any level
There was only one division with multiple levels at its creation. AGA quickly realized that this could not fit the needs of all gymnasts. This lead to the creation of new divisions with different criteria for scoring
AGA has recently developed a special division to enable recreational gymnasts with the opportunity to compete
AGA currently has teams completing from Pasadena, TX to Altus, OK. Some of our founding fathers are Dick Freeman, Gary Ton, Rudy Magdealeno, Bo White, Ben Whitfill, Tony Northrup, Lorenzo Martinez, Wayne Thompson, Joe Cronin, Marsha Mayo, along with many on our current Board.
