MISSION - HISTORY - CAUSE
Keeping collegiate men’s gymnastics alive, visible, and competitive.
Our goal is to provide Southern Californian gymnasts the opportunity to continue training in a quality and high-performing environment while competing for a college team under FIG/NCAA/GymACT rules.
From the vision of Head Coach Heinz Schulmeister, Southern California United was established in June 2014. Just nine months later, SC United gymnast Douglass Johnson won All Around Gold at the 2015 USAG Men’s Collegiate National Championships and became a two-time All American.
