Step by step
Running a gymnastics event in Colorado? Here's how to plan it, pick a format and run it on Colorado Under Par, start to finish.
What it looks like
Colorado amateur gymnastics includes gym-hosted meets, recreational showcases and camps at club facilities year round, with kids, teens and adult learners.
Formats
- Artistic (All-Around)
- Gymnasts compete on every apparatus, such as vault, bars, beam and floor for women.
- Tumbling & Trampoline
- Athletes perform passes on a tumbling strip or routines on trampoline and double mini.
- Rhythmic
- Gymnasts perform floor routines to music with a ribbon, hoop, ball, clubs or rope.
- Acrobatic
- Pairs or groups perform balance and tumbling routines lifting and catching each other.
- Gymnastics for All
- A non-competitive showcase where groups of all ages perform routines for fun, with no scores or rankings.
- Handstand Hold Contest
- Gymnasts see who can hold a handstand the longest on the floor mat, with coaches spotting. Easy to run and a crowd favorite.
- Pledge Per Skill
- Supporters pledge a small amount for every skill an athlete lands in a set time. A classic gym fundraiser for team travel or charity.
- Spirit Medal Ceremony
- Every athlete gets a ribbon, and one gymnast from each team wins a spirit medal voted by coaches. Pose all teams together for a final photo.
