Track Your Progress

Badge Scheme

Our structured badge programme motivates, inspires, and rewards every gymnast for their hard work, commitment, and personal growth.

General, Intermediate & Advanced

Our Gymnastics Badge Scheme for General, Intermediate, and Advanced gymnasts progresses from Badge 1 (Beginner) through to Badge 8 (Advanced).

The scheme is designed to support all-round gymnastics development, giving every gymnast clear goals to work towards and a real sense of achievement as they progress.

To achieve each badge level, gymnasts work towards completing a range of required skills throughout the year. Testing takes place annually, allowing gymnasts to showcase the progress, strength, technique, and confidence they have developed during training.
