USA Gymnastics is pleased to be able to provide the Women’s community access to the Women’s Program Rules and Policies (Women’s R&P) in an online format. By providing access in this manner, we can assure that a current Women’s R&P, with all changes to date, is always available.

Note: hard copies of the Women’s R&P are no longer available for purchase. Instead, you are free to download and save as a PDF in your computer as well as save to iBooks. This is the best way to always have this information readily available on your tablet or computer along with the Women’s Development Program (DP) Code of Points, the Xcel Code of Points, and the Women’s Development Program Compulsory Book.
