TGC History
The Texas Gymnastics Conference (TGC)
is an organization of collegiate men's and women's gymnastics clubs in Texas. The TGC is organized and run by college
students giving them the opportunity to learn how to organize and operate activities, events, and people.
Established
in 1979 by UT Arlington graduate/med student Chuck Wilson (also an L.D. Bell High School graduate) and Texas A&M graduate/med
student Joel Weddington, the conference began as the Texas Collegiate Gymnastics Club Conference (TCGCC). The concept was
to provide an association for competitive gymnasts at the various Texas colleges and universities that did not have scholarship
programs.

The TGC competes
annually at the National Association of Intercollegiate Gymnastics Clubs (NAIGC) Nationals comprised of collegiate men's and
womens' gymnastics clubs from around the country. This meet is held around the country at various locations.
