The sport
Team gymnastics: floor, tumble and trampet, judged as a whole. Explained by people who coach and compete in the sport, with the equipment each apparatus needs.
The sport
TeamGym is a team gymnastics discipline created by European Gymnastics and now practised worldwide. Teams compete on three apparatus, floor, tumble and trampet, always to instrumental music. There are women's, men's and mixed teams (with equal numbers of men and women), and there is no individual ranking: the team counts.
Each team has up to 10 competing gymnasts plus 2 reserves. The European Gymnastics Code of Points covers juniors and seniors, but TeamGym starts with the youngest age groups and runs through every competitive category up to juniors and seniors, in national circuits and in several international tournaments.
European Gymnastics organises the TeamGym European Championships every two years since 2010 (the first European team event, Euroteam, was held in Finland in 1996) and recognises the MidEuropean and the Nordic TeamGym Championships. There are also international club competitions, organised by several bodies and clubs in the TeamGym community, open to all age groups and with an adapted code, such as the International TeamGym Cup.
The whole competing team performs a routine to instrumental music, between 2:15 and 2:45 minutes, on a 14 × 16 m floor. Judges assess composition (formations and sequences), difficulty (balances, jumps, acrobatic elements, group element and flexibility) and execution (synchronisation and quality of execution).
Equipment
Three rounds of 6 gymnasts on a 15 × 2 m track with a 16 m run-up, each made up of several acrobatic series in a row. The first is the compulsory team round: everyone performs exactly the same series. The rounds must include one with only backward elements and one with only forward elements; the remaining one is free. For seniors, each series has at least 3 acrobatic elements. The landing area is 7 × 4 m and 35 cm high.
Equipment
Three rounds of 6 gymnasts on the trampette. The first is the compulsory team round; there must be at least one round with the vaulting table and one without, and the remaining one is free. The same element cannot be repeated in another round. At the end of a run-up of up to 25 m, gymnasts land on a 7 × 7 m landing area, 35 cm high.
Equipment
Training
Getting to competition takes progression equipment: learning new skills safely, repeating them many times and adapting the height to each age group. That is where the MGYM line comes in, designed by TeamGym coaches and made to measure.
