AUSTRALIAN LEVELS PROGRAM
OVERVIEW
The Australian Levels Program (ALP) is designed to:
• Provide a systematic development pathway for young gymnasts;
• Develop and promote participation at the basic level;
• Provide enjoyable opportunities for as many boys, youths and adults as possible to
participate in gymnastics and to become competitive at a national level or with a higher
level of commitment to become international class athletes.
The system contains two separate competition streams with an age group and an open division.
This provides a pathway for development based on an individual's physical ability. The objective is
for all gymnasts to attempt to compete within their appropriate age group for as long as possible or
to develop into an age group if they start gymnastics at a later age.
November 2014
6/27
Gymnastics Australia
MAG Technical Regulations Part B
The introductory competition program is Level 0. It provides an entry level to allow a no pressure
introduction to gymnastics at the lowest level. The aim at this level is to develop abilities based on
the dominant movement patterns introduced at the Introductory Gymnastics level to enable
progression to the learning of the basic skills and ultimately routines. Level 0 is designed
particularly for the more recreational club program.
4.1.1 PROGRESSION
The skills set down in the program are the minimum requirements. Whilst the routines are the
standard for both the Coach and the Gymnast in progression and the levels of competition, in no
way should it restrain the Coach from using his own initiative in the use of supplementary work for
the gymnast.
Coaches should ensure that the eligibility of a gymnast for progression from one level to the next is
strictly controlled to the extent that a gymnast's ability is commensurate with the level to which he
is credited. A gymnast should never be advantaged in competitive gymnastics by the failure of a
club to observe the eligibility of such a gymnast for progression in the level of accreditation. In
general, a gymnast will not be permitted to compete at a level below the last level passed, unless
the rules specific to an event permit this, or unless approval is gained from the relevant State SMC
or MAGNC. Similarly a gymnast should never be disadvantaged in competitive gymnastics by
premature advancement in level accreditation.
4.1.2 ASSESSMENT
Attainment of Level 0 is to be handled within the club where a qualified MAG Intermediate Coach
or a Beginner Judge may grade the gymnasts. No minimum score is required at Level 0. Testing of
gymnasts in Levels 1 - 10 should be conducted in the form of a Levels Test. A gymnast can
achieve success in the test by obtaining a specified minimum All Around (AA) score, whilst
simultaneously demonstrating at least a minimum standard of proficiency on each individual
apparatus. Refer to the table below for minimum scores applicable for each level.
It should be noted that gymnasts may jump levels, but this will be up to the State SMC’s discretion.
Evidence that the requirements of testing of all levels have been completed satisfactorily must be
forwarded to the State Association. Upon approval by the SMC of the assessment of a gymnast,
the name of the gymnast will be entered in the register of the State Association and he will be
eligible to wear the national level badge of that level. The national level badge can be obtained
from the State Association for a small charge.
•
•
In Level 0, a pass can be awarded when the Coach or Judge is satisfied that the gymnast has
shown reasonable proficiency in completing the required skills or exercises on each apparatus.
Testing of gymnasts in Levels 1 - 10 should be conducted in the form of a sanctioned Levels
Test. A gymnast can achieve success in the test by obtaining a minimum All Around score,
whilst not scoring less than the prescribed minimum on any one apparatus.

protest lodgement fee. International events will come under the FIG Code of Points and
therefore FIG rules will apply.
A fee of $30 shall be lodged with the jury before the protest is heard. If the protest is
successful, 100% of the lodgement fee will be refunded.
If a second protest is made after the resolution of an unsuccessful first protest, then the
lodgement fee will be $50.
