This week, David Holley and other USAG Business Ambassadors met in Indianapolis with USAG President and CEO, Kerry Perry, and other members of the USAG staff, to discuss reform and change within the sport.
We are so excited to announce that ASI has awarded the first Mike DeLuke scholarship to two very deserving children. Both, who have always dreamed of doing gymnastics, had gymnastics classes on their Christmas wish list. When they were told they would be able to gymnastics classes for a year at ASI, they broke out in tears with excitement. ASI Gymnastics is overjoyed that we are able to let children experience gymnastics through the Mike DeLuke scholarship.
ASI Gymnastics is and has always been appalled by the physical, sexual, and mental abuse of athletes. We strongly believe the gymnastics industry needs to adopt policies that protect all gymnasts. David Holley, CEO of ASI Gymnastics, presented his position at USAG National Congress last April. To watch the presentation, clickhere.
