MAG Passport

The Men’s Artistic Gymnastics Passport contains the series of skills developed by the Gymnastics BC Men’s Technical Committee, during the 2017 Men’s Program Retreat, under the leadership of provincial coach, Richard Ikeda, and guidance from the 2016- 17 committee chairman, Michael D. Hood.

This passport contains a list of skills essential to developing a gymnast to his fullest potential, starting from Provincial Level 2 and culminating at Senior High Performance.

Each apparatus has six levels of skill acquisition. Gymnasts will be evaluated using the criteria,‘Beginning’ (B), ‘Training’ (T) or ‘Competition Ready’ (C) in order to determine their level of skill mastery. When all elements in a Series (S) are ‘Competition Ready,’ that series of skills will be stamped as “Certified.” Gymnasts are able to develop at different rates of improvement on every apparatus, as each apparatus is evaluated independently. A gymnast may, for example, be certified at S4 on Pommel Horse and working at S2 on High Bar.

Gymnasts are encouraged to reference their passport often, so they can monitor their progress and areas of improvement, taking ownership of their gymnastics career. Passports can only be updated during testing at Gymnastics BC Provincial or Elite camps.
