USA Gymnastics is the national governing body for the sport of gymnastics in the United States, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Indianapolis, overseeing artistic, rhythmic and trampoline gymnastics disciplines. It selects US teams for the Olympics and World Gymnastics Championships, and underwent significant leadership and safeguarding reforms in the late 2010s following the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal involving the organization's former team doctor.
