Competition Timings Explained
Registration is the time you need to be at K2.
Your child will be registered with our coaches at squash court one.
You will then be able to enter the gym via the wooden doors. You will not be able to enter the gym as a spectator before the previous round has finished.
Competition is the time that your child will begin to show their routines to the judges
Presentation is the time that the medal ceremony for your child’s age group will begin
Finish is the time you will collect your child from squash court one.

All Timings other than Registration are approximate; we will always start early if possible.

How the Competition Will Run

• Recreational children will compete a floor routine and two vault/trampette runs (on vault the best score will count).

• TeamGym Development gymnasts will compete two tumble runs and two trampettes.

• MAG Development gymnast will compete across all 6 pieces

• Children will compete against all others of the same gender and year of birth, with medals being awarded for the top three. For large age groups of over 20 children we have split the year into smaller categories. For very small age groups we have combined some together. TeamGym Development categories are gender neutral.

• As well as competing individually, the gymnasts will also be allocated a colour team. The top three highest scoring teams will be awarded prizes.

Spectators

• Your entry fee includes two spectator tickets per child.

• Due to space in the gym you will ONLY be allowed two spectators per child.

• Small children sitting on laps, or siblings who are competing in other rounds, do not count towards your two spectators.

What to Wear

• Every child who entered the competition will get a Hawth Gymnastics T-shirt in their team’s colour. This t-shirt will be the size you ordered on your entry and cannot be changed. These will be distributed during regular classes in the run up to the competition.

• PLEASE CLEARLY NAME YOUR CHILD’S T SHIRT AS SOON AS YOUR RECEIVE IT!!

• The competition t-shirts should be worn to the competition - but can be removed to compete if the child is wearing a leotard underneath.

• Leotards can be of any design, but should not have skirts attached.

• Those not wearing leotards can wear shorts or leggings with their competition t shirt

• Hair that touches the shoulders (on either gender) must be tied up and long fringes and layers must also be secured.

• There will be zero tolerance to all jewelry to comply with British Gymnastics policy, large or decorated hair slides/bows are counted as jewelry.

Photos

A photographer from DE Photos will be taking photos all day. These will be available to buy on the day and also to view and buy online after the event, the access password will be in the program. If you do not want your child to be photographed, please let us know now – we will not be able to organise this on the day.

Gymnastics Wear Sale

There will be a sale of leotards and gymnastics wear by The Zone outside the event. Make sure to check it out!

Example Routines -Recreational Gymnasts
Development Gymnasts (MAG & TeamGym) will have bespoke routines - set by their coaches

• Below are examples of the routines the gymnasts will be performing on the day.

• These are near-perfect examples performed by our squad gymnasts. We do not expect all children to be able to perform to this level – they are merely an example.

• The demonstrating gymnasts are male - so are stretching to the judge with one arm. Traditionally girls will stretch with two arms - but it doesn't matter too much!

Gymnast Born in 2015, 2014, 2013 & 2012 will create their own routines using the following ruleset:

A forwards skill
A backwards skill
A sideways skill
A balanced/held skill
A free choice skill
A 0.3 bonus will be given to any flighted skills that are successfully performed (ie, dive roll, round off, flick, handspring)
Moves can be re-arranged and linking moves are encouraged.
