Do you live in Men’s Gymnastics Region 8? (Hint: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee).

Do you know, coach or parent an accomplished, senior male gymnast who enjoys a stellar GPA at his high school? If so, we’d love to consider him for our annual 10.0 Award!

Every year, we accept and review nominations of excellent high school male gymnasts, who live in the Region 8 area, who might benefit as recipients of our 10.0 Award. Candidates must submit a biography outlining their gymnastics accomplishments, their academic record and a short essay describing their extra-curricular activities.

Winners receive the glass sculpture, you see pictured here, which features a male gymnast training circles on our first product: The MushroomTM, developed in 1978 to train pommel horse skills.

Coaches and judges from Region 8 vote on the candidate whom they think should win.

The 10.0 Award enjoys a long history! We first started giving it in 1984! The list of recipients reads like a who’s who in NCAA and USA Championship gymnastics and includes an Olympic gymnast!

Region 8 wants to extend a huge heartfelt thank you to Mike Raines and Ten-0 Gymnastics for their support of the region and providing this prestigious award each year.
