Team G.USA is a for-profit company designed to facilitate all of Gymnastics USA’s competitive needs. Although owned by Gymnastics USA, it is a separate company from Gymnastics USA. Gymnastics USA facilitates the training, we facilitate the competition.

All athletes on GYMNASTICS USA competitive teams are required to pay Team Fees.  Team Fees are used to cover expenses that support the teams which are not covered by GYMNASTICS USA tuition, including (but not limited to) meet and USAG registration, coach cost/expenses at meets, and team. 

Communication is conducted primarily by email.  Please make sure GYMNASTICS USA has your correct email address and that you add operations@teamgusa.us to your safe senders list. 

All questions related to the financial side of your child’s competition season (not competition training, which is through GYMNASTICS USA) should be fielded through that e-mail address. 

You must be aware of the third entity (company) that exists to complete the competitive team program triad, G.CLUB USA. G.CLUB USA is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 company that has been established to raise funds to help offset the financial burden of being a competitive gymnast at a GYMNASTICS USA. G.CLUB USA is ran by you, the parents, and is a traditional style booster club. The true tax-write off status (501(c)3 enables G.CLUB USA to raise large sums of money to benefit all the gymnasts it serves. To receive benefits from this you must become a member, more information can be found at www.gclubusa.us.
