GYMNASTICS at AIMS GAMES
AIMS Games is a national tournament for Year 7 and 8 students from New Zealand and
international schools. The tournaments offers a variety of sports with over 10,000 participants.
The Gymnastics Competition from 2018 includes all of the gymnastics codes;
Women’s Artistic Gymnastics
Men’s Artistic Gymnastics
Trampoline (including Double Mini)
Tumbling (NEW in 2018)
Rhythmic Gymnastics
Aerobics Gymnastics (Individual NEW in 2018)
The AIMS Games sporting competitions are looking for the best athlete in each sport and therefore not all
divisions that are offered in the School GymSports Festival are offered at AIMS Games. In addition, there is no
distinction between novice and competition athletes and therefore in Flyers and Twisters divisions there may also
be low level competitive gymnasts.
How to choose what Grade/Level?
While there is no qualifying requirements for AIMS Games, schools need to be mindful of ensuring participants
are entered in a division they can safely perform. Please choose the grade to enter your students in based on
their gymnastic ability. Novice students may repeat a grade several times as they do not need to go up until they
are capable of the next level.
Retired competitive gymnasts;
Compete in the competitive levels that they last competed in until they have been retired for longer than 2
seasons (24 months) from retirement of which they can then compete in twisters divisions or unless
otherwise stated.
The date for retirement is taken from the last season they competed (training not included) eg retired during
or end of 2014 season is considered 2 seasons retired at the beginning of 2017.
Open Grades - Please note that if you do not have your club coach with you then for safety reasons we recommend
you only perform elements that you do not require spotting for or a warm up spot for i.e. you are proficient in
performing the skill.
General Requirements
The competition technical requirements are included in this publication.
Music CDs must be clearly labeled with the gymnasts’/groups’ name, school and division. In the
case of Rhythmic, the apparatus also.
All gymnasts are required to compete in uniform. With the exception of one small stud earring in
each ear, no jewelry may be worn. Long hair must be securely tied up to ensure it does not create a
safety hazard.
Each team must be accompanied by an adult.
Acceptable Clothing

Cycle shorts and Tee shirt (Female)
