Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG)

Men’s Artistic Gymnasts compete on six apparatus: floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar.

The Invercargill Gymnastic Club uses the National Competitive programme for our competitive male gymnasts. Within the programme are 9 levels, with the 10th level being international. Gymnasts through levels 1 – 6 use compulsory routines, and once in level 7+ they use optional routines that vary in difficulty.

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 Boys Rec are common entry pathways.

The men’s competitive classes are arranged according to ability, not age, so in some cases we would have 7 year olds training in the same class as 12 year olds.

Recommended ages: 6 – 18+ years.
