LISA BOWERMANCamp Director
Lisa Bowerman has worked at the TWU Gymnastics Instructional Camp for the past 16 years.
The 2019 season marks her eighth year as the head coach of the Pioneers.
A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Bowerman is a veteran member of the TWU Athletics staff. Prior to moving into her current position, she served one season as the associate head coach, three seasons as the team’s assistant coach, and three seasons as the graduate assistant coach.
In 2018, Bowerman led the Pioneers to their second consecutive USA Gymnastics Collegiate National Championship, the program’s 11th title in history.
TWU’s record-breaking performance set the mark for highest score at the national championships while shattering the program record with a 196.525 team score.
The year prior, Bowerman was named NACGC/W Division II Co-Head Coach of the Year and Midwest Independent Conference (MIC) Head Coach of the Year, adding to an extensive list of accolades.
She was twice named the NCAA Division II and MIC Coach of the Year as well as the USA Gymnastics Ken Anderson Coach of the Year. She has also been recognized as the NCAA Division II Assistant Coach of the Year in 2011, the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Assistant Coach of the Year in 2008, and the MIC Assistant Coach of the Year in 2007, 2010 and 2011.
As an assistant coach, Bowerman helped coach the team to MIC championship titles in 2006 and 2010. Her leadership also helped the Pioneers claim their eighth and ninth USA Gymnastics Collegiate National Championships in 2006 and 2008, respectively.
Bowerman’s staff at the TWU Gymnastics Instructional Camp consists of college, club, and high school gymnastics coaches. Current and former TWU gymnasts are also on hand to provide instruction. All of these individuals have valuable gymnastics experience, love the sport, and are great mentors to the campers. Their friendliness and enthusiasm are as important as their teaching and spotting skills. All Master Staff are USA Gymnastics safety certified.
Per NCAA rules, sport camps and clinics conducted by Texas Woman’s University are open to all entrants. Enrollment is limited only by age, grade level, gender, and capacity restrictions as specified by each camp.
