20 USA GymnASticS JANUARY • FEBRUARY 2010

The 14th annual Future Stars National Championships was held at the United States Olympic Training Center, Nov. 12-15, 2009.

The Future Stars National Championships features the USA’s best 10-, 11- and 12-year-olds in the United States who perform special Future Stars competitive routines on the six men’s events, plus routines for still rings strength, parallel bar strength, flexibility and trampoline.

The Future Stars National Championships is held in conjunction with the National Coaches Workshop, the premier educational event for the men’s pro-gram. In addition to the competition, Future Stars athletes and their parents participated in workshop activities that featured lectures, technical presenta-tions, and hands-on coaching sessions. Presenters

included Junior National Coaching Staff members, National Team coaches, sports science personnel, USOC staff and special guests.

The Future Stars program is designed to identify talented athletes and get them started on the right developmental path to national and international success.

Based on the results at the championships, USA Gymnastics identified the Future Stars 2009-10 National Developmental Team, which includes the top 18 gymnasts in both the 10- and 11-year-old divisions and 14 gymnasts in the 12-year-old divi-sion. The top nine athletes in the 10- and 11-year-old divisions and the top seven athletes in the 12-year-old division will be invited to a special Future Stars camp to be held at the USOTC next summer.
