GymACT

The Gymnastics Association of College Teams (GymACT) is a collegiate men's gymnastics league unaffiliated with the NCAA. It is recognized by USA Gymnastics as a pathway for men's artistic gymnastics.

History
GymACT was officially formed in January 2018 in response to the dwindling number of programs sponsored by colleges and universities at the National Collegiate Athletic Association level. Member teams aim to grow and maintain as self-funded ventures. Historically a sport with large participation, NCAA men's gymnastics was sponsored by over 200 programs in the 1960s. The number has been declining, with 79 programs for the 1981–82 year and plummeting to 20 for the 2002–03 year. As of 2024, just 15 NCAA programs remained.

As programs were cut from NCAA affiliation, some continued on as club teams. Some of those clubs were early members of GymACT and critical to its foundation including Arizona State, Washington Men's Gymnastics, and Temple University, which were joined by Southern California United and NorCal United (now Bay Area Bandits) as the charter members of the organization. They were joined shortly after by New York Alliance.

The organization hosts the GymACT National Championships, which started in 2021. Previously, member organizations competed in the USA Gymnastics Men's Collegiate National Championships. The current president of GymACT is Mike Burns.
