The NGA Men’s Gymnastics Technical Handbook with 4 X 4, contains information for all levels of the NGA Men’s Gymnastics Program.

From the competitive requirements per level and the newly developed, “4 X 4” program, this manual is designed for quick reference and ease of use. This unique 60-page Technical Handbook with a Table of Elements will be a staple in your NGA library.

Letter-Men's Coaches/Judges

LETTER TO THE MEN’S GYMNASTICS COACHING & JUDGING COMMUNITY

From: NGA Men’s Advisory Panel

I would like to announce the first draft of NGA Men’s Rules for Optional Routines with rules and Level requirements. I am asking the Coaching and Judging community to give feedback on these rules, as your input will be taken into consideration for the final draft.

In addition, just as important is the new Team Competition Format with some exciting ideas to involve everyone at the competition. The NGA Advisory panel is looking for any positive or negative constructive input, in this way we can evaluate the information and make positive change for men’s gymnastics. Please send any comments to [email protected] We will also be setting up Zoom Calls for questions and answers about the program. Look forward to hearing from you.
