Dress Code

For gymnastics coaches at USAG sanctioned gymnastics competitions in Texas

In order to maintain a high level of professionalism and respect, Texas is now implementing a dress code for all coaches on the floor at USAG sanctioned events. The dress code is as follows:

Shoes: Closed toe athletic shoes.

Pants: Athletic warm-ups or "Docker-style" pants. (No jeans)

Shorts: Hemmed, finished shorts that are a reasonable, "child-friendly" length. (No shorts with tears or holes or short-shorts.)

Shirts: Collared shirts or t-shirts identifying your gym or light business casual shirts. (No spaghetti straps, low-cut tops, or shirts revealing the midriff.)

Hats: No hats or visors.

This dress code policy, and the enforcement of it, is an attempt for all of us to gain and maintain respect and professionalism for ourselves as well as the sport of gymnastics. Please keep in mind gymnastics facilities and competitions are "family environments" and therefore we should wear attire that is appropriate for children (often times young children) to be around.

Compliance of this policy will begin August 1, 2008. The meet director or a board member will speak to any individual found out of compliance. Attention will be brought to the coach's infraction and adherence will be expected at the next competition.

Thank-you for your cooperation,
Texas SAC
