50 Years of Maryland gymnastics

In the 2023-24 season, Maryland gymnastics will celebrate its 50th year of competition.
The team's first year of action came in 1973-74, when head coach Patricia Long assembled a roster of seven student-athletes to practice in the annex gym of Cole Field House. Four head coaches and 49 years later, the Terps fielded a roster of 22 gymnasts that competed on the XFINITY Center court during the 2022-23 season.
The 2023-24 season will serve as a celebration of the progress the program has made since its inception. Read more about The Lost Years of Maryland Gymnastics and how one women's story set up this season's 50th year celebration.

Brett Nelligan enters his fifteenth season as head coach of the Terrapins in 2023-24. Nelligan became the fourth head coach in program history on May 1, 2009, following the retirement of his father, Bob Nelligan.
