Where co-operation and success go hand-in-hand

 

About the Sport

Acrobatic gymnastics is the fastest growing form of gymnastics, which it is hoped will shortly become an Olympic sport.

Acrobatic gymnastics floor routines combine individual gymnastic floor skills, such as cartwheels, flics and somersaults, with partner balances and flighted moves. The competitors work as women's pairs, mixed pairs, men's pairs, women's trios or men's fours.

The nature of acrobatic gymnastics means that it can cater for a wide range of ages and ability levels.

Working with partners means that the gymnasts have to develop confidence and trust in each other and develop their abilities to work together. Taking part in acrobatic gymnastics has many advantages including developing strength, fitness, agility, flexibility and responsibility for others.

Most of all it is fun!
