Coaches welcome to compete!
Just because you’re a coach doesn’t mean you can’t join in on the fun of competition! As Gymnastique Magique is an inclusive competition, we now welcome coaches to take part and compete in our competitions (subject to age range requirements of the categories).
Unique fair judging criteria
• Primary entries are now judged on a set of criteria emphasising fun factor, enthusiasm, smiles, costume and choreographic variety/suitability rather than technical ability and execution. This takes the pressure off younger, less experienced gymnasts, allowing them to develop and take their first steps into the competition environment in a fun more relaxed environment, rewarding them for having fun and enjoying their performance!
• Junior/Senior entries are judged on a more detailed criteria including technical ability, execution, expression, costume and choreographic variety/suitability.
• Any ‘combination’ entries such as ‘Combined Junior/Senior’ and ‘Whole Club’, judging will take into account all of the above factors and the fact that the groups are of mixed age and ability.
