"Collegiate season ain’t ready for me. I’ve seen the speculation online and I have decided to retire my elite career as of this season. As I have gotten older I have needed more maintenance to keep up with the training that is required of elite. I’m wanting to continue my gymnastics in college and excel in a different way. I’m so excited for my first season as a Gator!!"
Amelia Disidore will be joining her sister, Gabby Disidore, who joined the Gators as a freshman in 2024.
Amelia Disidore's message after confirming her move to Florida Gators

In a message she shared with the Gators after signing, Disidore said:
"The reason why I chose the University of Florida is because they are one of the top universities in academics. Gainesville reminds me a lot of Overland Park, which gives it a homey feeling and the coaches as well as the gymnasts were very supportive and welcoming. I'm very excited to sign this November and become a baby Gator. Go Gators!"
The Gators' head coach, Jenny Rowland also added:
"We are especially excited about the opportunity for her to compete alongside her sister, adding a unique and inspiring dynamic to our team."
