  • 2021 Guide to Gymnastics Team
    At Spokane Gymnastics, the coaches focus on encouraging the development of strength, skill and character through gymnastics training in a positive environment. We strive to offer a program where every student has the greatest opportunity to succeed, no matter what their level or goal. We strive to balance teaching proper gymnastics skills, terminology and progressions in a fun environment where students are taught by breaking down the elements of the particular skills, hands- on “spotting” and training, low student-to-coach ratios and positive reinforcement. We believe that gymnastics is not only one of the most rewarding sports with unlimited benefits to other activities, but also FUN! Gymnastics not only increases strength, flexibility and balance, it is also encourages hard work, discipline and determination. Women's Artistic Gymnastics There are four events in Women's Artistic Gymnastics – Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor Exercise. Although most sports have seasons, gymnastics is a year-round commitment for athletes at the upper levels. Vault A successful vault begins with a strong, accelerated run. The best vaulters explode off the springboard with tremendous quickness during the pre-flight phase of the vault. When the gymnast pushes off of the vault table (also informally referred to as the horse) judges look for proper body position and instantaneous propulsion and explosive force. They watch the height and distance traveled as well as the number of flips and twists. Gymnasts strive to stick their landing by taking no extra steps. Uneven Bars Many consider the uneven bars the most spectacular of women's events, since to be successful the gymnasts must display strength as well as concentration, courage, coordination and split-second timing.

The wide popularity which enjoys derives from the accessibility of the means used, especially by introducing into the international competition system two more categories, namely aerobic dance and aerobic step. Particularities of age, the technical requirements and the content of the competition exercises to these two categories are arguments for them to be used in aerobic gymnastics lessons in higher education as well as in university competitions. As a result, in higher education, aerobic and aerobic step category are accessible and efficiente forms of optimization of lessons with students, a means with multiple valences on the body and also for the development of specific university competitions at local and national level.

Any translation or reproduction of this document is strictly prohibited without the prior consent of the FIG. WAGC ACRO 2017-2020 2 PREAMBLE The Fédération International de Gymnastique (FIG) Acrobatic Gymnastics Technical Committee is pleased to present the ratified World Age Group Competition Rules, effective January 2017. These rules are guided by the current FIG Statutes, General Technical Regulations, the FIG Judges’ Rules, the 2017 - 2020 Acrobatic Gymnastics Code of Points and Tables of Difficulty. This publication has been revised to reflect the changes that were made to the ACRO Code of Points 2017 – 2020. The basic principles which provide the foundation for the Age Group Program are unchanged. The Appendix is to eliminate the need for developing countries to consult multiple documents to construct exercises. Appendix 4 contains elements which may be used as optional elements for the 11-16 exercises. They are intended to provide new coaches with direction in skill selection, and to eliminate the need for the use of the FIG Tables of Difficulty. However, Appendix 4 does not prevent the use of the Tables of Difficulty by more experienced coaches and athletes. The remaining Appendices are excerpts taken from the ACRO Code of Points 2017 - 2020. This will minimize the need for new countries to consult the Code of Points for the 11-16 Age Group.

  • Methodological Aspects of Learning the Static Structures in Acrobatic Gymnastic
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 117 ( 2014 ) 374 – 377 ICSPEK 2013 Methodological aspects of learning the static structures in acrobatic gymnastic Liliana Dina* National University of Physical Education and Sports, 140 Constantin Noica, Bucharest, 060057, Romania Abstract This paper aims at presenting some aspects concerning the methodical path for learning the static constructions in acrobatic gymnastics. Given the fact that in acrobatic gymnastics, static constructions involve a variable number of subjects having different roles and functions, we intend to find out a series of general methodical rules, meant to facilitate learning of all kinds of such elements. © 2013 The Authors.Authors. Published Published by by Elsevier Elsevier Ltd. B.V. Selection andand/or peer-review peer-review under under responsibility responsibility of ICPESK of ICSPEK 2013. 2013 Keywords: acrobatic gymnasics, static constructions, algorithmical learning programme 1. Stage of knowledge Acrobatic gymnastics is a discipline whose origin goes back in history. The specialized literature indicates that the first documented mentions attesting certain specific elements of this sport were made in antiquity, in China and in Ancient Greece, mainly used to create shows. The modern acrobatic sports is linked to the Soviet Union, where, back in the '30s, it experienced a particular development, becoming in time a sports discipline integrated in the competition system. Acrobatic gymnastics stands out as a gymnastics branch specialized in the "highly efficient use of acrobatic routines performed individually, in pair or in groups, on the floor or certain apparatus. It is based on the demonstration on music of a series of static or dynamic forms of music and static or dynamic routines performed by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 gymnasts" (Popescu, 2007, p.18).

  • Forms of Gymnastics
    Forms of gymnastics Artistic gymnastics Artistic gymnastics is divided into Men's and Women's Gymnastics. Each group does different events ; Men compete on Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Still Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, and High Bar , while women compete on Vault, Uneven Bars, Beam, and Floor Exercise . Though routines performed on each event may be short, they are physically exhausting. Nowadays, at the international level, competitions on the various apparatus consist of two different performance categories: compulsory and optional. Each country may use compulsory and optional routines as they wish. Women's events Vault In the vaulting events gymnasts: sprint down a 25 meter (about 82 feet) runway , jump onto a beatboard , (run/ take-off segment), land on the vaulting horse or vaulting table, then spring of this platform to a two footed landing . This may include one or more multiple saltos or somersaults , and/or twisting movements. In 2001, the traditional vaulting horse was replaced with a new apparatus, sometimes known as a tongue or table . Uneven Bars On the uneven bars (also known as asymmetric bars (UK ), the gymnast navigates two horizontal bars set at different heights. Gymnasts perform swinging, circling , transitional , and release moves. Gymnasts often mount the Uneven Bars using a beatboard (springboard). Balance Beam The gymnast performs a choreographed routine from 60 to 80 seconds in length consisting of leaps, acrobatic skills, somersaults etc. on a padded sprung beam. The event requires in particular, balance, flexibility and strength. Floor The floor event occurs on a carpeted 12m × 12m square. Female gymnasts perform a choreographed exercise 70 to 90 seconds long.
