Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy, commonly shortened to CGA, is an American women's artistic gymnastics academy in Fairfield, Ohio. It is one of the elite gymnastics facilities in the country and has trained various Olympians and world champions, including Amanda Borden and Jaycie Phelps.[2]

In addition to providing gymnastics training, they also host parties.[3]

History

The academy was opened in the 1980s by current president and head coach Mary Lee Tracy.

Tracy was named as the United States women's national artistic gymnastics team elite development coordinator by USA Gymnastics in August 2018.[4] The move quickly came under scrutiny from Aly Raisman and CGA alumna Alyssa Beckerman due to Tracy's ties with Larry Nassar.[5][6] USA Gymnastics later fired her 3 days later.[7]

Previously, Tracy did not conduct background checks on coaches at CGA.[8] As a result, CGA employed Ray Adams, who was later convicted and jailed for sexual abuse.[8]
