LONDON GYMNASTICS

GfA Levels

London Gymnastics for All Competition Levels for 2017.

New levels have been introduced for the 2017 GfA floor and vault competition programme. The levels are designed to be achievable, but progressive,
to help both gymnasts and coaches focus on the development of core skills. Gymnast must be born in 2010 or earlier to compete in GfA 2017 competitions.

Badge Tariffs for GfA levels 1-2 .

At levels 1 and 2, gymnasts receive a sticker for floor and another for vault that is equivalent to a bronze, silver or gold standard.
The combination of the two stickers, which are given out immediately after the routine or vault has been judged,
determines the gymnasts overall medal and whether they move up to the next GfA Level
(see table below).
