Registrations for the 2025 Zespri AIMS Games are now open, and we’re looking forward to another year of exciting gymnastics action. All intermediate school students are eligible to enter.

Enter as Many Codes as You Like
Participants can compete in aerobics, artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, and tumbling—and there’s no extra cost to enter all five. New to a code? Beginners can join the flyers or twisters divisions. Online videos are available to help students practice at home or school, and many local clubs offer pop-up classes leading up to AIMS Games to help gymnasts fine-tune their routines.

Competition Schedule and Updates

Sunday 31 August – Artistic Open Division
The open division will now follow the same format as any Gymnastics NZ endorsed competition. Gymnasts will be judged just as they would at a standard competition. MAG competitors will perform on all six apparatus, while WAG competitors will compete on all four apparatus. GfA Levels 4-6 have also been added. AIMS is not a qualifier for the 2025 National Championships.
