High Performance Gymnastics Camp

Registration opens on Friday, January 23 at 1 p.m. MT.

Come experience four days of gymnastics training at BYU! Under the direction of BYU Gymnastics head coach Guard Young and his staff, this high-performance camp is intended to help competitive gymnasts (JO levels 5-Elite) develop skills they'll use in optional, elite, and college gymnastics. Gymnasts will learn competitive and motivational strategies, set training goals, and learn new skills. In addition, they will be mentored in sports nutrition, strength training, injury prevention, and dance choregraphy. This camp is designed for gymnasts who are physically capable of training 20+ hours per week. With the camp's low coach-to-gymnast ratio, gymnasts will have the opportunity to receive personal instruction and coaching on some of the nation's finest equipment.

This camp is geared towards competitive gymnasts. Those in recreational gymnastics and dance will likely struggle with the drills and the competition involved with this camp.

Standards

Participants attending BYU Sports Camps must maintain the standards of Brigham Young University (i.e., high standards of honor, integrity, language, and morality; abstinence from tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, and harmful drugs; and modesty in dress). A clean and well-groomed appearance should be maintained (e.g. men are encouraged to shave). Sport-appropriate performance attire is acceptable during training and practice sessions; tanks/shirts must be worn at all times. Dress standards such as knee-length shorts and shirts with sleeves are enforced in other areas of campus and camp participants should be prepared to change into the appropriate attire as required.

The following are the responsibilities of each participant: Maintain respectful attitudes toward coaches, counselors, and all other individuals; demonstrate proper use of university equipment and facilities; attend camp sessions and activities; follow instructions; respect curfews; dress modestly; refrain from vulgar and profane language; and come prepared to observe the BYU Honor Code.

While cell phones are permitted at camp, participants are required to be respectful in their use of cell phones. Phones should not be used during practice or other inappropriate times. Participants must respect the privacy of others, including being courteous while taking photos and recording videos. Capturing photos and videos in restrooms, locker rooms, or other changing areas is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply with these policies and to be respectful of the privacy of others will result in dismissal from the camp.

Due to safety and liability concerns, any participant found in or entering campus construction areas will be subject to immediate dismissal.

Security Rules

Participants should be aware of the following rules and precautions:

Do not bring a large sum of money or expensive items to camp.

Do not leave equipment unattended, except in designated secure locations.

Insurance

Brigham Young University does not provide medical insurance for sports camps participants. Medical expenses incurred as a result of participating in a BYU sports camp are the responsibility of the family of each camp participant. Participants must carry primary insurance during camp or be self-insured. Expenses for treatment paid by BYU must be reimbursed to the university no later than  August 31, 2026.

Illnesses and Injuries

For minor illnesses, participants may choose to remain at home. Counselors or coaches must be notified in such cases. If medical treatment for a participant is deemed necessary, Brigham Young University will attempt to contact the parent or guardian. In the event the parent/guardian cannot be timely reached, the participant may be transported off-site to receive medical treatment.

Experienced athletic trainers will be on hand to treat injuries that may occur during workouts. For serious injuries, participants may be taken to the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. Athletes are encouraged to begin strength, flexibility, and nutritional training prior to camp to minimize the risk of injury during camp. It is the camp participant’s responsibility to follow the trainers’ instructions.
