We are a start-up company established in 2019 and owned by 3 gymnastics professionals who have been both gymnasts and coaches in the sport for over 30 years. We aim to provide another competition opportunity for any competitive gymnasts to gain experience in a different environment.
JOINING IS FREE! So that there is no barrier to entry and we can provide more opportunities to any gymnasts from any club, we have removed all additional fees and the only fee required is an entry fee per gymnast per round the club chooses to enter.
Our competitions are aimed to provide another option for gymnasts to gain positive competition experience which can be done alongside any other competition options. WE CAN'T WAIT to see how we can help add to your gymnasts competitive experience!
Our “levels” are called leagues, which are designed to allow gymnasts to remain in a league across multiple years without feeling the pressure to move up each year. This allows gymnasts to continue to advance their skills even during competition season and with plenty to develop within each league.
We have launched Pre League in 2025 for two rounds. We follow research and trends from sports journals and industry trends to ensure all decisions we make are ones that positively support gymnasts to be their best in the sport but most importantly as people beyond gymnastics. The latest research suggests that gymnasts who are more successful in our sport and with a higher quality of overall health later in life didn’t specialise in one sport until the age of 12 and trained no more hours per week than their age (plus 2). We believe that by offering two rounds for our newest competitors we will enable gymnasts to keep a healthy balance of participation in all sports until hours of training required to meet the skill level matching our core leagues meet closer to their age. We can't wait to work with clubs to help develop gymnasts for our leagues!
No, you can join AGC regardless of where your club chooses to affiliate. As a private company, we have our own insurance that covers you when attending our events. Most importantly we exist to grow the opportunities for athletes and raise the profile of gymnastics in Australia.
Paid Pro League gymnasts are selected based on skill and positive role model qualities that represent our positive gymnastics movement. We select Pros at the beginning of each year through a try out process and via judge scouting from Rep League throughout the season.
Our manual is designed for progression, the bonus skills are intended to allow individual athletes to compete to their strengths and challenge themselves to achieve steps towards the next league all during competition season. We are happy to support clubs with programming recommendations more specifically, just let us know.
Our competitions are suitable for the majority of gymnasts training anywhere between 5-15 hours a week as long as they meet skill requirements in the league they compete in.
Our competitions are suited to the majority of competitive gymnasts. Gymnasts who are not eligible for AGC are those selected on State or National teams representing their state or Australia.
The competition is split into 2 parts: warm-up and competition. We start with a 15-minute general warm-up then move to a group apparatus warm-up, finishing on your first competition apparatus. Gymnasts then march onto the competition floor, presenting each club to the spectators and then get straight into competition routines. Gymnasts can have additional warm-up touches at apparatus in Club League and above if doing high-level skills such as salto Vault, skills with flight on Bars and Beam or twisting on Floor.
Competitions run for no more than 2 hours, double apparatus sessions can run up to 2.5 hours
You can enter teams of 6. Teams can be adjusted within a reasonable timeframe before each round.
We have developed our own software which makes scoring easy to follow and highlights the amazing gymnasts at competitions. Scoring is out of 10 and is made up of composition requirements, bonuses and wow points. Fans can follow scores on the TV’s at the competition and on their phone on the app.
Work orders are released a month before the competition date or as soon as we can. These are sent to clubs to release to members.
No, our purpose is to keep more gymnasts in our sport for longer and provide competitions for them at an age that supports them socially, mentally and physically without limiting their potential. We know we can do this by starting them competing from 9-10 years old. We have developed a programming guide (Pre Leagues Guide) for clubs to ensure they can prepare their gymnasts for Development League.
No. We provide all judges, so all you need to worry about is supporting your athletes to be their best.
Yes, there is no sanctioning needed for our events as we are a private company with our own insurance that covers gymnasts and coaches when they attend our events.
No, everyone is welcome to enter into States and Nationals. Gymnasts will be put in a division based on their average score throughout the season to give them the best opportunity to place. If a gymnast is entered in a State or National competition without competing in any round prior they will be automatically entered into Division 1.
We use Flip the Scores a software for scoring, registration of gymnasts, managing teams and all things AGC. Go to the clubs page and click login or visit flipthescores.com.au/login
