MAG - Men's Artistic Gymnastics

MAG Junior Development Squad
MAG (Men’s Artistic Gymnastics) Junior Development squad is an invitation-only class. This class introduces young boys to the fundamental skills and techniques required for competitive MAG. It focuses on all 6 MAG apparatus (floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar). This squad is intended to facilitate the development of gymnasts that we consider to possess a considerable degree of ‘natural talent’ for the sport of gymnastics. Further, the squad will provide greater strength and flexibility challenges, as well as a more advanced level of skill development.

MAG Development Squad
This is a competitive class where boys continue to improve on their conditioning, flexibility and strength within these classes. Gymnasts start learning the routine requirements for the MAG Level 1-2 routines within this class. The skills they are learning are essential in the development of routines. Boys are taught the routines across all six men’s apparatus: vault, pommel, parallel bars, floor, high bars and rings.

Athletes withing the MAG Junior and Senior Squads train to compete at Level 3 or above. To pass to the next level, athletes must compete in a State-based Levels Test, with State appointed Judges.
