MAG Men's Artistic Gymnastics

Mens Gymnastics is a strength building sport for boys that enhances coordination and agility. It develops positive and confident body movements and challenges the mind. Boys compete in 6 apparatus: Floor, Pommel, Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars and High Bars.

Boys are accepted into the competition squads from approximately 5-6 years old after showing talent in the General Gymnastic or Pre-gym GfA squads (after an assessment by the Head Coach). Boys train up to 2 times a week on Mondays and Thursdays, and compete in the Australian Gymnastics Levels 1 through 10. Progression through each level is not based on time in the level but ability to meet the skill requirements of the next level.

Due to the increased commitment required to be successful in this program, attendance is expected at all training sessions. Makeup classes are not available and no refund will be issued for missed sessions.

Competitions

Competitions are held at the State Gymnastics Centre at Marion at least 3 times a year and are compulsory. There is also an opportunity to compete in country competitions. For competitions, gymnasts will be required to purchase a club leotard and shorts, jacket and bag.

Parental help is required at competitions usually as a door person, panel secretary, judge or music operator. Courses are offered annually to gain judging accreditation. All parents will be expected to help in some form during the year.
