A competitive pathway that develops strength, technique and discipline while helping gymnasts achieve their potential.
About MAG
Men's Artistic Gymnastics is a competitive pathway for boys who demonstrate the ability, commitment and enthusiasm to progress their gymnastics to a higher level. Athletes develop exceptional strength, flexibility, coordination and discipline while training skills across the men's artistic apparatus and working through the competitive levels system.
SCGA's MAG program provides a structured pathway from introductory competitive development through to advanced levels. Entry is by assessment and invitation, with training hours and commitment increasing as gymnasts progress through the Australian Levels Program.

WHAT TO WEAR/BRING
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
SCGA training uniform is highly encouraged for regular MAG training but is not compulsory, with comfortable, fitted activewear also acceptable. The official SCGA competition uniform must be purchased and worn at competitions, events and other nominated occasions. Gymnasts should bring a labelled drink bottle to every session, tie long hair securely away from their face, and bring any additional training equipment requested by their coach, such as grips, elastics or weights. For longer training sessions, gymnasts may also bring a small energy-building snack to enjoy during an allocated break rather than a full meal.
Does my child need gymnastics experience? Not at all! Many of our programs cater for complete beginners, and our coaches will help each gymnast progress at a level appropriate to their ability.
