‘Fun, inclusive and fair’… Gymnastique Magiques’ competition motto

Our aim is to bring the worlds' of gymnastics together, by providing teams of all ages and disciplines of gymnastics with the unique opportunity to compete against one another in a range of fair, exciting and unique categories and sections. All participants can enter any group, duo and solo routines (according to their age group).

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.
