Competition Team
Acrobatic gymnastics (previously called sport acrobatics) is a competitive gymnastic discipline where partners of gymnasts work together and perform figures consisting of acrobatic moves, dance and tumbling, choreographed to music. There are three types of routines; a 'balance' routine where the focus is on strength, poise and flexibility; a 'dynamic' routine which includes throws, somersaults and catches, and (at FIG level 6 and above) a 'combined' routine which includes elements from both balance and dynamic
