The Texas Amateur Athletic Federation is a nonprofit organization established in 1925 to promote, organize and conduct amateur athletics in the state of Texas.
The mission of the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation (TAAF) is to create and maintain in the State of Texas a permanent organization representative of amateur athletics and/or organizations, devoted thereto; to establish and maintain the highest ideals of amateur sports in the State of Texas; promote the development of physical education and to encourage the standardization of rules of all amateur athletics, games and competitions.
TAAF gymnastics follows all USAG rules and regulations and uses official USAG certified judges for all meets. The TAAF competition season is January to May.- see more at www.TAAF.com
Biron Gymnastics competes in TAAF sanctioned meets because they are a less intense competition setting than USAG. Many of the gymnasts that compete TAAF work out fewer hours than many of the USAG competitive gyms. The philosophy of Biron Gymnastics Compulsory Coaches is to teach the gymnasts correct technique and progressions on all events (bars, beam, vault, floor, USAG levels 3,4,5 & 6 routines) while maintaining focus on the fun of gymnastics. We encourage our gymnasts to compete in two or three meets in the competition season, beginning in January. We feel that the competition setting provides good character building skills such as self-confidence, independence, and teaches the students how to handle nervousness and criticism. The coaches view each meet as a way to build self-esteem of our gymnasts as they can track their own improvement through the season.
