4 WOMEN S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS TECHNICAL RULES AND REGULATIONS All technical rules and regulations for women s gymnastics in Saskatchewan are under the jurisdiction of Gymnastics Saskatchewan s Technical Director in consultation with Gymnastics Saskatchewan staff and the Women s Technical Committee (WTC). All women s gymnastics programs and competitions sponsored or sanctioned by Gymnastics Saskatchewan shall be governed by the rules and regulations established in this manual, by Gymnastics Canada Gymnastique (GCG) and/or the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG). Only gymnasts, coaches and judges who are registered members in good standing of Gymnastics Saskatchewan are eligible to take part in Gymnastics Saskatchewan programs and competitions in and/or out of province. 1. GYMNAST DEVELOPMENT AND COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS Gymnastics Saskatchewan offers programs for women s gymnastics in recreational, inter-club and competitive categories. The following policies have been developed and will apply to all women s inter-club and competitive programs in Saskatchewan. 1.1 Inter-club & Competitive Programs STAR The STAR program is a provincial physical ability and developmental skills and talent identification tool. For the seasons this will be an in-club program. JUNIOR OLYMPIC PROGRAM Gymnastics Canada has adopted the JO Program to provide direction and foster competition for different age groups of girls and young women of various levels of ability and commitment. Gymnastics Saskatchewan uses this tool as a guide to provide programming for female gymnasts in Saskatchewan. INTERCLUB PROVINCIAL STREAM JO Level 1 2: The introductory JO levels focus on basic skills and excellent execution through short compulsory exercises. COMPETITIVE PROVINCIAL STREAM JO Level 3-4: Designed for beginner competitive and developing gymnasts who have limited training and experience. Routines consist of compulsory skills and choreography. JO Level 5: JO Level 6: JO Level 7-8: Designed for beginner competitive and developing gymnasts who have more access to training and experience. Routines are compulsory and focus on mastery of basic skills needed to perform at high difficulty levels in the future. Designed for gymnasts who have mastered levels 1-4 and are now ready to learn B value skills. Fully choreographed routines are performed with A and B skills. Designed for gymnasts who are prepared to incorporate more B difficulty skills into their routines. Optional routines are performed. Level 8 is the first provincial level that is included in Western Canadian Championships. JO Level 9(13+): Designed for gymnasts who have mastered previous optional levels and are ready for increased difficulty and the development of more C and D skills. Level 9 may also be a stepping-stone for those interested in competing in current FIG difficulty competitions. Gymnasts may try out to be selected to Team Saskatchewan to attend Western Canadian Championships. 3

5 NATIONAL PROVINCIAL STREAM JO Level 9(11-13) & 10(12+): Designed for gymnasts who aspire to compete at inter-provincial and national levels or are already national level gymnasts. National Level gymnasts competing using the JO rules. ASPIRE 1 & 2 The Aspire Program has been created by Gymnastics Canada to assist in the development of young gymnasts across Canada as they set their sights on participating in future high-level competition. The program is divided in two levels and dedicated to mastering strong basic skills on all four events upon which to build contemporary advanced elements in the years to come. Although the gymnasts will not compete compulsory routines, their optional routines will be created from a set of indicated skills, connections and requirements listed for each event. The emphasis is on the quality, not on the quantity of the elements performed. Gymnastics Canada is responsible for the content of the Aspire Program. HIGH PERFORMANCE High Performance gymnasts aspire to compete at inter-provincial and national levels or are already national high performance gymnasts. High Performance gymnasts compete national and international rules, based on the FIG Code of Points. Provincial, inter-provincial, and national competitions are provided in three age groups for high performance. Detailed program information is available from Gymnastics Canada. 1.2 Sask First Training and Competition Program Competitive WAG gymnasts are eligible to be selected to this program. It is designed to enhance training and competition opportunities for current western, national and high performance gymnasts and for those with high performance potential. Following an annual selection camp, gymnasts and their personal coaches will be eligible for certain training and competition opportunities based on the gymnast s age, development plans and funding available. This program is led by Gym Sask s Women s High Performance (HP) Coach in consultation with the High Performance (HP) Committee. Gymnasts are selected based on criteria developed by the HP Coach in consultation with the HP Committee. Under exceptional circumstances, the HP Coach may select gymnasts for the Sask First training team at any time. 2. GYMNAST REGISTRATION & ELIGIBILITY All gymnasts must declare their level of competition upon registration with Gymnastics Saskatchewan each fall by the membership deadlines established annually. For the season, the deadline for competitive and interclub gymnasts is October 31 st. All gymnasts must be registered with a Gymnastics Saskatchewan member club unless approved by the CEO. 2.1 Competition Eligibility, Mobility and Upgrades GENERAL Demonstration for gymnasts not age eligible or not registered in a given category is not permitted. These gymnasts must be redirected towards different programs. INTER-CLUB Interclub gymnasts may move to Provincial or Aspire at any time, provided they are age eligible. Gymnasts registered as Interclub with Gymnastics Saskatchewan will not have to be upgraded if they participate in fun meets at a provincial stream level after Saskatchewan Championships. ASPIRE Gymnasts registered as Aspire may move to levels 5-8 at any time. Aspire gymnasts may NOT move to levels 1-4 if they have competed in the Aspire category, without an approved petition to the WTC. Level 5-8 gymnasts may move to Aspire at any time provided they are age eligible. 4

6 COMPETITIVE March 1st is the final date for movement DOWN a level. There is no deadline to move up a level. The Gymnastics Saskatchewan office must be notified of any change. At Saskatchewan Championships, gymnasts must compete in the level, which they are registered at with Gymnastics Saskatchewan, and at the level in which they qualified. Level 3-8 gymnasts may compete a maximum of one provincial level above their declared registration at a maximum of 2 Saskatchewan invitational competitions. If a gymnast competes in 3 or more, she will automatically be upgraded. Gymnasts registered or upgraded to national stream will remain registered national for the entire competitive season. Gymnasts who compete in a national stream category at a Saskatchewan sanctioned competition will be automatically upgraded and will be required to pay the according fees if not already registered as such. Level 7 gymnasts who qualify and participate in the Western Championships in Level 8 will automatically participate in Level 8 at Saskatchewan Championships. Level 8 s who qualify and participate in the Western Championships in Level 9 will have to participate in their new level at Saskatchewan Championships. The following events require a National/High Performance affiliation: Canadian Championships, and all trial and selection meets for the event. This includes athletes in Aspire 2 trialing for Canadian Championships. 2.2 Levels & Age Groups Please see the Eligibilities Chart in the Appendix. Gymnastics Saskatchewan reserves the right to combine age groups subject to provincial registration; categories may be combined prior to the competition season. 3.
