All "slow turns" must be performed in the following manner: no more than 1/4 rotation
at every impulse
It is forbidden to include 2 or 3 successive difficulty elements with “slow turn”. A maximum
of 1 element out of 3 is allowed with “slow turn”.
All difficulties with ring must have the foot in contact with the head

Extending a flexibility element to “on toe” does not increase the difficulty
Static flexibility elements must be visibly held
Flexibility elements with rotation must maintain firm held shape throughout difficulty
Must show no undue movement of body during slow turns – “promenades”.
Difficulties performed with insufficient amplitude or with shape not well fixed do not
count as difficulties
If the apparatus is not in motion throughout the duration of the difficulty, the difficulty
does not count

rope
technical groups
• Leaps or jumps into the rope with open rope held by both hands
• Skips or hops into the rope with open rope held by both hands
• Throws and catches
• Releases – toss of one end (echappe)
• Rotations of the rope
• Handling
Swings
Circles
Figure of 8’s
Sails
Rebounds
Wrapping and unwrapping (but not remaining in the wrap position)
Other handling where the rope is not in a static position
notes
The rope should be made of a supple, firm material, between 8–10mm in thickness.
The rope should fit the size of the gymnast, eg. With gymnast standing in the middle of the rope, the ends should reach her shoulders.
coaching points
•
•
•
•
•
Can be used with or without knots in the ends
Should be held with the ends concealed within the hands
Should be held with the rope between the thumb and first finger
The rope should maintain its shape throughout all movements
During movements through the rope, the rope should not hit the floor, as this effects the shape of the rope.
35
hoop
technical groups
• Rolls
Over the body
On the floor
• Rotations
Around one hand or another part of the body
Around one axis of the hoop
• Throws and catches
• Passing through or over the hoop
• Handling
Swings
Circles
Figure of 8’s
Other handling where the hoop is not in a static position
notes
The size of the hoop should be relative to the size of the gymnast, to allow free movement through and over the hoop. Generally the diameter
of the hoop should be at the hip of the gymnast. Hoops are made of plastic or wood, hollow and solid.
For levels 6 - 9 the hoop must be a minimum weight of 300 grams and have an internal diameter of 80 to 90cm.
coaching points
•
•
•
•
•
•
The basic grip is held firmly within the hand with forefinger along the rim of the hoop for stronger control and easy swinging.
The hoop should rotate freely around the palm with the thumb held at right angles to stop the hoop slipping onto the wrist.
Rotations should at all times maintain shape and correct planing.
During rolls on the floor and body the hoop should maintain a strong line without moving off the trajectory
During lateral / frontal, horizontal throws, the hoop should not be seen to wobble during the flight.
During axis throws the hoop should rotate evenly around the axis.

“Flip overs” with or without circular movements of the arms
Other handling where the ball is not in a static position
notes
The size of the ball should sit comfortably in the palm of the hand. If the size is too small this will encourage gripping.
For levels 6 the ball must measure between 16-20cm in diameter and weigh between 300-400 grams.
For levels 7- 9 the minimum weight is 400grams and the diameter 18-20cm
coaching points
•
•
•
•
The ball should always be held loosely in the palm of the hand.
Whilst bouncing, the ball should be pushed into the ground and not slapped with open hand.
During rolls, the ball should not bounce along its trajectory
The ball is always to be caught without sound, being absorbed into the hand.

Other handling where the clubs are not in a static position
notes
Generally clubs will measure from the fingertips to just past the elbow of a gymnast. Clubs can be made from plastic, wood or rubber.
For levels 6 - 9 the clubs must measure between 40-50cm in length and be at least 150g each
coaching points
•
•
•
•
The static grip of a club is performed with the head firmly within the palm and the forefinger stretched along the neck. This is the grip advised to use
for all swings and large circles.
For small rotations, the club should be held by the head in a loose grip, with minimal wrist movement.
Mills should be performed with small figure 8 rotations with the wrists held closely together.
The clubs should rarely be held by the neck.

ribbon
technical groups
•
Snakes (serpents)
•
Spirals
•
Throws and catches (free throws and boomerang throws
•
Small tosses

Other handling where the clubs are not in a static position
notes
The length of the stick should be measured from the fingertips to above the elbow of the gymnast and is generally wood or fiberglass. The
connecting swivel should not exceed 7cm in length.
For level 6 the minimum ribbon length is 4.5m.
For level 7-9 the minimum ribbon length is 5m.
coaching points
•
•
•
•
•
•
The stick is held firmly within the palm with the forefinger along the length of the stick.
The end of the ribbon SHOULD always remain in motion.
Small patterns (spirals / snakes / serpents) must have at least 4-6 movements within the shape.
Completed sets of small patterns are always required.
The ribbon patterns should not maintain constant contact with the floor as this affects the shape of the ribbon and hence DEDUCTIONS!!!
In throws, the entire ribbon must leave the floor or be in constant movement.

routine construction
Level 6-9 optional routines should be choreographed to contain the following:
6 x set elements in isolation
4 x supplementary elements adhering to the requisite of one per body technique group
• Combinations may be used in accordance with the limits for each level
• Coaches may include an additional 2 elements however, only the 4 of the highest value that satisfy the body technique groups will
be counted.
Variety (minimum of two different) in the techniques with the apparatus
Variety in dynamics
Variety in the use of space: directions, trajectories, levels and modes
Elements of mastery (levels 7-9 only)
supplementary elements
Supplementary elements are required in:
Level 6 - 9 apparatus routines
In each level, 4 supplementary elements are required – one from each of the body technique groups
The value of the elements performed will be added to the score for the set elements to determine the technical value score.
National A = 0.10 (levels 6 only)
A = 0.10
B = 0.20
C = 0.30
D = 0.40
In the case of combinations, the value of the two elements will be added
ie.
A + A = 0.10 + 0.10 = 0.20
B + C = 0.20 + 0.30 = 0.50
Level 6-9 gymnasts are restricted to the elements in this manual
41
combinations
•
A combination consists of two elements of value that are performed consecutively.
•
The value of the combination is the sum of the values of each difficulty within the combination
•
Mixed combinations may count as either of the required supplementary body techniques but not both
•
Each element within the combination must be of a different shape with the exception of leaps
•
Each element within the combination must be performed with the basic characteristics
•
The apparatus must be in motion throughout the combination
For levels 4-9, the connection between the two elements must comply with the table below:

Note: the above table is a simplified version of the FIG requirements for combinations
Level 10 must comply with the requirements for combinations as set out in the FIGcode
One step =
complete element one, step into element two
examples:
Leap with land on the right foot, step onto left to take off into second leap
Leap with land on right foot, step into illusion with left leg supporting
Pivot with right leg supporting, step into pivot with left leg supporting
Heel support =
The heel may be lowered between the two elements but the supporting leg must remain the same
example:
Balance on toes with left leg supporting, lower to flat foot and leg passes into second shape, rise onto toe for second balance with left leg
supporting
Change in support = movement from one body part to another without step
example:
Standing arch with support on two feet, change support to one foot for second element of the combination - ie a balance

mastery
Bonus points for mastery will be awarded by the Artistic Value judge (composition) for throws, and catches from throws under the following criteria:
Throw without the use of hands
0.10
Throw from outside the visual field
0.10
Throw during a leap / jump of difficulty
0.10
Catch without the use of hands
0.10
Catch outside the visual field
0.10
Catch in a position lying on the floor
0.10
Catch immediately after element of rotation/s
0.10
Elements of rotation include: rolls, pivots, turns, illusions, walkovers, cartwheels and leaps with rotation
Note:
apparatus only.
apparatus.
1.
In the case of Mastery throws of two apparatus, the above values count for
one
2.
In the case of Mastery catches of two apparatus, the above values count for
each
Example:
Throw two clubs, illusion, catch in a position on the floor = 0.40
0.20 – catch immediately after element of rotation (2 clubs = 0.10 + 0.10)
0.20 – catch in a position lying on the floor (2 clubs = 0.10 + 0.10)
The value for each combination of the mastery elements listed above is calculated by adding the value of each element.
To be valid, mastery must be performed without loss of apparatus
Ball: A catch in two hands will negate the bonus value of mastery for the element.
Exceptions: Catches outside the visual field
Repetition of mastery will not be evaluated except if performed with variation
43
acrobatic elements
Only the following groups of acrobatic elements are authorised:
•
Forward or backward rolls without flight
