A Movement for Youth and Amateur Athletes
As one of the fastest-growing youth sports in the U.S., MMA is becoming a top choice for young athletes looking to compete in a dynamic and multi-disciplinary sport. GAMMA USA plays a leading role in legitimizing this movement, advocating for structured regulations, state-sanctioned events, and increased opportunities for youth participation.
