National levels 1-10 are competitive classes, where gymnasts must compete in at least 3 competitions each year.
The Australian Levels Program has been structured to provide gymnasts with an inclusive, attainable, and challenging sport program. Training hours increase as the gymnast’s progress through the levels.
