If you have an athlete qualified to Level 9 Eastern and/or Level 10 DP Nationals please read below just received from Christy Naik.
All,
A new NCAA release has been created for East/West and Nationals qualifiers. Please communicate this will all qualifiers from your region, and it can also be found on the Easterns, Westerns and Dev Nationals websites. The information collected from this release will be shared with our NCAA counterparts for assistance with recruiting.
http://www.usagymforms.com/ncaa-release-women/As it pertains to NCAA recruiting at these events, please note that the NCAA recruiting dead period is in effect until May 30th. This only affects D1 schools, whereas D2 and D3 schools are still able to travel and recruit. I have been working with the NCAA and have submitted a letter of support for a blanket waiver that they are hoping will allow an exception for at least Nationals, but we will not know anything until tomorrow at the earliest. With that in mind, USA Gymnastics has put together a package for any NCAA coach that is unable to be in attendance at Nationals that will included components of the Flo livestream, a membership with our partner Captain U, as well as the information that is collected from these release forms. Another strange year for our athletes as it relates to the recruiting aspect, but I am hopeful that we will still be able to provide some sort of exposure to the NCAA coaches, even if it looks different.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Christy
