Welcome to our 58th annual Gymnastics Association of Texas Conference.   Look around, as we have attendees from not only Texas but from Louisiana, Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma and California.  Take time to introduce yourself to your fellow coaches that you may not know.  Afterall, that is how GAT started all those years ago....it was a GAThering of like-minded gymnastics educators.

Please take the time to create your own unique schedule of sessions you are wanting to attend this weekend. This is also the best way to get the most up to date schedule should things change or should announcements need to be sent out to our attendees.

We are thrilled to announce our exclusive equipment partnership with SPIETH America, bringing together our expertise to elevate gymnastics education and training. This collaboration marks a historic milestone for both organizations as we join esteemed industry partners. As the Gymnastics Association of Texas (GAT), known for our comprehensive gymnastics education programs, we will now have access to SPIETH America’s cutting-edge equipment and educational resources, including sessions on Parkour and NCAA Acro and Tumbling. Together, we are dedicated to fostering growth, innovation, and safety within the gymnastics community.

If you have any questions about anything during the weekend, don’t hesitate to see one of us at the downstairs registration desk. Let us know what you like or areas where we can improve our service to you.

A lot of planning has gone into this conference, so we hope you have a wonderful weekend of great gymnastics education!
