We are developing a nationally consistent suite of programmes for Gym for All (GfA) pathway events across all gymnastics codes (MAG, WAG, RG, AER, TeamGym, TRA/DMT/TUM).
This project will update existing participation pathway programmes and create new social competitive pathways—designed to provide sustainable, structured, and meaningful challenges for athletes who want opportunities outside full competitive intensity.
To support this work, Gymnastics NZ is forming GfA Programme Working Groups and inviting expressions of interest from across our community.
What the Groups Will Do
- Contribute to programme design and content.
- Share insights into what athletes, coaches, and clubs need from this pathway.
- Ensure programmes are inclusive, engaging, and technically appropriate.
- Represent a broad cross-section of our community, including coaches, recreational programme leads, and schools gymnastics.
