Our Purpose
To develop competition that will add to the growth of men’s gymnastics in each state.
To encourage participation in competitive gymnastics within each club program.
To develop judges who may grow to be Nationally Certified.
League Overview
The State Men’s Gymnastics League is comprised of many Clubs and Judges from across each State. NGA provides access to competition and learning opportunities to all its members at a greatly reduced cost. This encourages participation and increases the level of competition.

Use an “Off the Bench” athlete. At the end of an event, the head coach will have the option to use any athlete on his athletes on his team roster to do a routine to replace his lowest score. He must take the “Off the Bench” score. The coach must decide within 30 seconds of posting his team’s last score whether to use an Off the Bench score.
Team Sticks– Teams will receive a bonus of 0.3 for 3 stuck landings in a row on each apparatus (including pommel horse). Judges will raise a green flag for each stick and then a gold flag for the team bonus 3rd stick in a row.
