About
the Sport
Sports Acrobatics is the fastest growing form of gymnastics,
which it is hoped will shortly become an Olympic sport.
Sports Acrobatics 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 Sports Acrobatics 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 Sports Acrobatics has many advantages
including developing strength, fitness, agility, flexibility and responsibility
for others.
Most of all it is fun!
