General Gymnastics
General Gymnastics is a new form of gymnastics that
encourages creative expression of movement and unity to
produce a spectacular visual display. Groups can be
comprised of all age levels and various levels of gymnastics
abilities. Learn more...
Team Gym
The primary difference between Team Gymn and artistic
gymnastics competitions is that the gymnasts compete
together as a squad. These squads may consist of all girls, all
boys or a mixed squad of girls and boys together. In addition,
the competition moves quickly from one event to another - six
teams can complete their events in less than one hour!
In a Team Gymn competition, each squad competes in two
events - Group Jump and Group Floor Exercise.
During Group Jump, each squad does two tumbling passes,
two vaults, and two mini-tramp or board jumps. During Group
Floor Exercise, ALL the gymnasts in the squad perform a
group floor routine to music.

USA Gymnastics TeamGym program for the 2008-2009
season
We realize that many of you are in the midst of getting
ready for preparing for the 2008-2009 TeamGym season
and desperately need information about the direction that
the Rules Committee is taking for the new season.
All of the USA Gymnastics/GG Committee members
have given their initial approval of the competitive Levels
and basic skills therein. Therefore, we are releasing the
basic skills for the Jump event. This should give all of you
a very good idea of the level of difficulty required and point
you in the right direction for starting training your squads.
As for the Group Floor, we expect that the general
requirements will be VERY SIMILAR to the current rules.
Of course there will be some differences:
The tumbling shown will again be “commensurate” to
that which is expected in the Group Jump event.
The time duration of the levels will remain the same.
There will be a REDUCTION in the requirement of long
series in tumbling – especially for Levels C and D.
We will finally introduce a requirement for some kind of
“power” elements, but I think that these should be
relatively easy to deal with. For some examples of power
/ balance elements, go to http://www.usa-gymnastics.
org/Story.aspx?tabid=529&prog=g
We are still research the new proposed rules from the
Euro TeamGym program so that we are going in the right
direction for Levels D, E, and beyond.
As for the written TEXT of the new rules and specific
deductions, the first priority has been the identification of
the skills required at each level. The next step will be the
revision of the text.
Please call or email with your impressions and
comments.
