Women’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG)
Women’s Artistic Gymnasts compete on four apparatus: vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise.
The Invercargill Gymnastic Club uses the National Competitive programme for our competitive female gymnasts. Within the programme are 10 STEPs, with the 11th being international. Gymnasts through STEPs 1 – 6 use compulsory routines, and once in STEPs 7+ they use optional routines that vary in difficulty.
Entry into these competitive classes are done by assessment only. Typically a gymnast would have done some basic training within one of our other classes first before moving towards this competitive stream. Classes such as Junior Gym or Junior Artistic are common entry pathways.
WAG classes are arranged according to ability, not age. Recommended starting ages: 6-8 years.
