Men’s State Gymnastics Team League
Competition Guidelines
Level 1-3
Our Purpose
To develop Team 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 judge’s assistants who may grow to be Nationally Certified.
League Overview
The NGA State Men’s Gymnastics League is comprised of many Clubs and Judges from across each
State. The competitions are usually dual in house meets not large invitationals. This organization provides access to competition and learning opportunities to all its members at greatly reduced cost. This encourages participation and increases the level of competition.
Developing Judges within the organization, ensures the quality of judging remains high, and the
cost to meet directors stays affordable.
League Competitions using a GYMAct program.
Meet Directors hosting local events will use the local GYMAct team, if available to work the meet and assist the judge. The host will donate to the local GYMAct program based on the number of workers needed to run the competition. This donation will be used for competition and scholarship opportunities for athletes competing in local GYMAct collage programs.
