Introduction Over the past 20years as the ALP of each Olympic Cycle has been released it has become the go to resource for Men’s Gymnastics in Australia for information and guidance for coaches, gymnasts, judges and parents. What the ALP is, is a competition program that provides detailed information for Clubs, Regions and States to implement that provides consistency across the Country when delivering competition opportunities for individuals engaged in competitive Men’s Gymnastics. What we have learnt over this time, many individuals are using the ALP as their only resource in developing and delivering a competitive men’s program. This is a concern and we very much encourage individuals expand their resource material to include other publications used in gymnastics within Australia and around the world and don’t solely coach gymnastics routines contained within the ALP. Recognising this trend, in the 2018-2021 edition of the ALP we have deliberately expanded the information contained within this version to help provide as much content as possible that remains relevant to the delivery of competition men’s gymnastics. The production of this manual and additional resources was only possible through the passion and time provided by key individuals who for the most part volunteered their time. It is with great thanks and appreciation to all contributors that the Men’s Commission of 2013-2017 can present the 2018-2021 GA MAG ALP.

History of the Australian Levels Program The MAG ALP has an extensive history and has guided men’s gymnastics in Australia for over 60 years. It has not always been called the ALP (Australian Levels Program) but has been integral in providing a level playing field across the country in preparation for national and international level of competition. • 1949 to 1972 compulsory routines for MAG were distributed
to state associations in paper form and included an Open division, Under 19 and a under 16 division.
• 1972 after the Munich Olympics Jeff Cheales was appointed National Judging Director and Barry Cheales National Coaching Director. Funds were obtained from the Rothmans National Sports Foundation grant to produce a Men’s Levels Manual. This contained basic conditioning suggestions with photos and a new levels 1 to 10 system of compulsory routines. This system was devised from a levels 1 to 5 system trailed in Queensland by Barry Cheales and visiting USA gymnast Dave Niemand.
• 1974 a second edition of the manual was published prior to the compulsories for the 1976 Olympics.
• 1976 – 1990 the manual was updated to reflect the changes in rules, international compulsory routines and international trends.
• 1991 Kathleen Graham appointed to the National Sports Program Committee of the day,
to coordinate the production of the manual.
• 1993 introduction of a new format to outline routine descriptions and typical judging deductions.
• 1997 Change in routine construction to include bonus skills for the first time.
• 2005 introduction of a CD Version of the ALP including videos of routines for the 1st time.
• 2013 made freely available to Technical Members for the 1st time via GOL (Gymnastics
Online)
• 2014 introduction of mobile versions for use on phone and tablets, making the manual easily accessible to gymnasts and parents for the 1st time.
• 2018 introduction of animation to capture how each routine should be performed. • 2018 inclusion of a section dedicated to celebrating men’s gymnastics in Australia

Injury Prevention Essentials for Competitive Gymnasts
Prepared by Phillip Cossens, MAG Australian Team Physiotherapist 2005-2017 Competitive gymnasts achieve elite levels of fitness throughout their body tissues. This can be demonstrated by development of muscular strength and flexibility, motor coordination and balance, postural control, and very high levels of bone density (Taafe et al. 1997). Evidence also exists highlighting the importance of high levels of physical activity through the pubertal years for long-term health of joint cartilage and tendon structure (Carter et al. 2004, Heinemeier 2013). Although significant benefits exist for the long-term health of our young gymnasts, regular gymnastics training does come with a notable risk of injury. Risk of acute injury is minimised through excellence in coach education, including coaching practices such as safe skill progression, appropriate use of protective equipment or apparatus, and direct athlete spotting when required. Australian coaches are to be commended for their commitment to athlete safety, as despite the difficulty of skills performed by our young gymnasts, acute injuries remain infrequent. Overuse injuries however, remain a significant concern for developing athletes. Injury data collected amongst our Senior and Junior National Squad athletes between 2013 and 2017 indicate that approximately 60% of injuries are diagnosed as overuse injuries (Cossens, unpub). It is important to note that an ‘overuse’ injury occurs when the ongoing load applied to body tissues exceeds the tissue tolerance. The definition therefore does not relate primarily to total training numbers performed, but more importantly the training load applied in comparison to tissue fitness developed through previous progressive training. While overuse injuries remain common in gymnastics, an opportunity presents for reduction of injury rates and reduction of training time lost due to injury. The first and primary method for injury prevention is through consistency in training load. This applies across all levels of gymnastics, as every athlete’s tissues will respond to training load when progressive overload principles are applied. Significant evidence exists in other sports to demonstrate that injury risk can be calculated by comparing an athlete’s recent training load (one week), and comparing to their regular long-term training load (one month). In current medical literature, this is termed the acute to chronic workload ratio, and a ratio of >1.5:1 (one week load >150% of monthly average) has been demonstrated to be associated with increased injury occurrence in the subsequent four weeks (Gabbett 2016). It is worth noting here that the injury does not necessarily occur immediately when training increases, but some time in the next four weeks, therefore making it more difficult for coaches to identify the causal factors. Gymnastics Australia has been progressively implementing training load monitoring amongst National Squad athletes since 2014, and the Australian Institute of Sport has provided an app for developing athletes to efficiently track their training loads. For other athletes not within the elite pathway, several options exist to monitor training loads. There are apps available for coaches to monitor a training group, or apps for individual athletes to monitor their own training load. Search your app store for examples. Alternatively, the most basic form of load monitoring may be to keep and review your daily roll call.

Identifying when athletes have been absent for several sessions over the last four weeks can give coaches important information in planning the upcoming week of training. Coaches are encouraged to ask themselves; have I recently adjusted an individual’s program dependent on their recent training history? Just because a parent pays for the gymnast to attend a certain number of training hours per week, does not mean that the athlete is physically prepared to train fully for those hours. With these factors considered, the coach then has an opportunity to implement individualised modification to training programs. Achieving consistency in training load is the best form of achieving injury prevention throughout the body as a whole, but some body parts require particular attention. In Australian men’s gymnastics, the most common locations for injury are the shoulder, wrist, lumbar spine and ankle (National squad injury data 2012-2017). The following exercises are recommended for inclusion in the regular or daily training program. Shoulder
In a cross-sectional study, a link has been found between shoulder flexibility into eagle grip and the presence of shoulder pain (Cossens & Faulkner, 2017). Although not demonstrated yet as a causal link, this finding combined with the performance benefits of gaining a good eagle grip provide enough reasoning to recommend regular stretching in this way.
Many young male gymnasts perform this stretch daily, but few continue the stretch as they get older. In the same cross-sectional study mentioned above, those athletes with a good bridge also tended to have less shoulder pain (Cossens & Faulkner, 2017). While not demonstrated as a causal link, it does contribute to the importance of maintaining good thoracic extension range for all male gymnasts.
Inlocate/dislocate with stick or rope • Starting behind the back in reverse grip, raise arms overhead to finish in eagle
grip. • Control the movement to avoid aggressive click-throughs • Ensure symmetry. • Use measurement on the stick or rope to monitor improvement.
Bridge • Hands at shoulder width, push up to straighten knees and elbows • Encourage extension through the upper back and shoulders • For those too stiff to bridge, or those who over-extend through the lumbar spine
(low back), try putting the feet onto a raised surface • Bridge is an important stretch to encourage combined thoracic spine (upper
back) extension and shoulder elevation

Thoracic rotation stretches are not traditionally a regular stretch for gymnasts, but are a great way to maintain thoracic mobility and facilitate improvements in thoracic extension.
Lumbar Spine Consider the range of skills that utilise an arched position, particularly those that involve impact or aggressive speed (handspring landing, front layout landing or rebound, PBars downswing for straight legged Moy). All of these skills should utilise extension through the hips and thoracic spine to avoid excessive extension loads being placed through the low
back. Simple things done well can sometimes be the most important. Using splits to improve hip extension flexibility can reduce extension loads placed on the lumbar spine and therefore prevent injury.
Thoracic Rotation – Bow and Arrow Stretch • Lie on side with hips/knees bent to 90°, arms stretched out in front of chest • Glide top hand forward and back, always moving • Rotate trunk to reach top elbow/shoulder towards the ground • Repeat x10 each side
Standing Arch Practice • Stand with the arms overhead • Arch backward to create a smooth body curve • Identify any athletes that tend to ‘fold’ in one particular area of their spine (the
low lumbar spine is common) • Encourage extension through the hips • This exercise may be important to practice for athletes who struggle to achieve a
smooth curve
Front Splits • Focus on back leg position, and deliberately stretch back leg extension more than
front leg • Keep back kneecap pointing down into the floor, and tops of all five toes
touching the floor • Keep trunk upright, don’t allow athletes to bend forward as this reduces hip
extension • Use raised surface to support the hands if required

Additionally, gaining thoracic extension range will benefit the lumbar spine, just as it is valuable for the shoulders. Ankle
Calf endurance is essential to maintain effective ankle control over a full training session. This test is a good indicator of active ankle control. Test your group to determine who needs more balance challenges in order to prevent ankle injury. Wrist The best method of injury prevention will be a very gradual build-up of circle numbers performed on mushroom/pommel horse. In particular, consider monitoring the number of circles performed on the leather that require a greater amount of wrist extension in weight-bearing. When considering specific exercises, most cases require an individualised approach to wrist injury prevention and management, depending on wrist mobility and strength. References

Men’s Gymnastics Australian Levels Program
2018 – 2021 (Version 1)
14 Copyright - Gymnastics Australia
FOREWARD AUSTRALIAN LEVELS PROGRAM The Men’s Gymnastics National Commission is pleased to present the 2018–2021 edition of the Men’s Gymnastics Australian Levels Program. The Australian Levels Program is designed to:
• Provide a systematic development pathway for young gymnasts; • Develop and promote participation at the basic level; • Provide enjoyable opportunities for as many boys, youths and adults as possible to participate in
gymnastics and to become competitive at a national level or with a higher level of commitment, to become international class athletes.
The system contains two separate competition streams with an age group and an open division. This provides a pathway for development based on an individual's physical ability. The objective is for all gymnasts to attempt to compete within their appropriate age group for as long as possible or to develop into an age group if they start gymnastics at a later age. PROGRESSION
The skills set down in the program are the minimum requirements. Whilst the routines are the standard for both the coach and the gymnast in progression and the levels of competition, in no way should it restrain the coach from using his own initiative in the use of supplementary work for the gymnast. Coaches should ensure that the eligibility of a gymnast for progression from one level to the next is strictly controlled to the extent that a gymnast's ability is commensurate with the level to which he is credited. A gymnast should never be advantaged in competitive gymnastics by the failure of a club to observe the eligibility of such a gymnast for progression in the level of accreditation. In general, a gymnast will not be permitted to compete at a level below the last level passed, unless the rules specific to an event permit this, or unless approval is gained from the relevant State SMC or MAG National Commission. Similarly a gymnast should never be disadvantaged in competitive gymnastics by premature advancement in level accreditation. ASSESSMENT
Testing of gymnasts in Levels 1–10 should be conducted in the form of a Levels Test. A gymnast can achieve success in the test by obtaining a specified minimum all around score, whilst simultaneously demonstrating at least a minimum standard of proficiency on each individual apparatus. Refer to the current National Technical Regulations accessible on the Gymnastics Australia website for pass marks for each level. KEY CHANGES FROM THE 2014–2017 Levels Program
• Change in age groups for Levels 1–7,performing compulsory routines. • Compulsory and optional requirements at all levels have been reviewed and revised where
appropriate. • Deductions for execution errors aligned to the 2017-2020 FIG Code of Points.

INTRODUCTION 1. Using the Australian Levels Program
The Australian Levels Program provides information on compulsory routines for Levels 1–8. The FIG Code of Points, rules and regulations will apply to all nationally sanctioned events in conjunction with the Men’s Gymnastics Technical Regulations and ALP. National rules stated in the Levels Program and updates will always over-ride rules from the Code of Points. Below is an explanation of the how to use the Australian Levels Program.
2. Evaluation of the Compulsory Exercise
2.1 There are deductions in two areas of the compulsory exercise, i.e.
• Errors in interpretation - omission of a part of an exercise - addition of a part to the exercise • Errors in execution
Apparatus & Level
Number of bonus elements
Additional information Skill number – indicates skill order
and whether bonus skills are replacement or additional skills
Element Value – indicates the value of each skill (this may be
divided between a group of skills) Required Skill – provides a brief
description of each skill
Pictures to provide a visual example of each skill
Technical Description – provides a detailed description of the each
skill. Where there are any discrepancies, only the Technical Description should be referred to.
Typical Deductions – provides some examples of typical deductions. This is not an exhaustive list and other
deductions may be taken.
Version Number & Date of Publication – ensure you are
using the most up-to-date version

2.2 Deductions for Errors in Interpretation Unless a specific reference has been determined, gymnasts executing compulsory routines will in principle be deemed to have presented any attempted skill. This includes where a coach has given assistance or where a fall occurs within that skill. In either event, an appropriate penalty of 1.0 points already exists.
2.2.1 Omitted Parts
For parts or connecting parts that are omitted, the value of the particular skill is deducted. Consider the following example. If a gymnast omits the scale the deduction would be the assigned value of 1.5 points.
Skill 1
1.5 Stand upright, Scale
This would mean that the gymnast has incurred a total deduction of 1.5 for the omission and be awarded a Start Value (D Score) of 8.5 points.
2.2.2 Additional Parts
For added parts, the deduction every time is 0.5. Once complete, a gymnast cannot repeat a skill. Consider the following Rings routine. If a gymnast was to perform a second inlocate then this would be an added part, and in this case would receive a 0.5 deduction from the Start Value (D Score). Execution deductions (E Jury) may also apply.
Skill 5
2.0 Pull back to piked position and cast to stretched inlocate to swing backwards

2.2.3 Partial Completion of Skills
Some skills in the ALP are in fact combinations of skills. In the case where part of this combination is completed it is possible to split the skill value between the parts. Consider the Level 1 Floor routine; Skill 1 includes a forward roll AND a tucked handstand (Skill Value 2.5). If a gymnast only performs the forward roll before continuing the routine, he has omitted the tucked handstand and will lose partial value of that skill (in this case 1.5). If a gymnast attempts a skill, regardless of the quality, he will always be awarded the skill value. E Jury deductions will apply.
2.3 Deductions for Errors in Execution
For more information regarding the Evaluation by the E jury see the 2017 MAG Code of Points (FIG), Sections 8 & 9.
The deduction for execution includes all deductions for technically incorrect performance of the exercise and incorrect form.
Errors are divided into the following three categories:
• Small Error Deduction 0.1 Near errorless or minor error in execution, slight deviation from correct position
• Medium Error Deduction 0.3 Distinct or significant deviation from errorless execution or correct position
• Large Error Deduction 0.5 Severe deviation from errorless execution or correct position (major error)
• Fall Deduction 1.0 Fall onto or from the apparatus
The following table has been adapted from the 2017 MG Code of Points (FIG). Deductions stated in the ALP will always override deductions in the Code of Points.

3.2 Bonus Skills and Start Values
At Levels 3–8 compulsory, bonus skills have been included as an incentive to receive a higher start score.
Every routine starts with a base score of 10.0. Each bonus skill performed will receive 0.5 which increases the start value of the routine, i.e. the maximum final score may be greater than 10.0 points.
A bonus skill may either replace another in the sequence or exist as an additional skill. In either situation, the bonus skill will always lead on to the same following skill (except in the case of a dismount).
E.g. Replacement skill
Skill 4 Skill 4 1.5 2.0
Straddle balance
Side Splits
In this example the gymnast performs side splits instead of a straddle stand to receive bonus.
Eg. Additional skill
Skill 2 Skill 3 2.0 0.5
Dorsal hang Cast to half arm swing
In this example the gymnast performs a half arm swing after the dorsal hang to receive bonus. Levels 3 and 4 have only one bonus skill on each apparatus (excluding Vault). Level 5, 6 and 7 under 13 have a maximum of two bonus skills per routine (excluding Vault). Level 8 under 14 has a maximum of three bonus skills per routine.
Note: Where a bonus skill is recognisably attempted then the bonus is to be paid, even if a large deduction is present. Presentation deductions will be taken as appropriate.

Levels 3 & 4 10.0 10.5 NA NA
Levels 5, 6 & 7 u12 10.0 10.5 11.0 NA
Level 8 u14 10.0 10.5 11.0 11.5 Unless a specific reference has been determined, gymnasts executing compulsory routines will be allocated bonus for attempting a bonus element. Where a bonus element is distinguished from a base element by a level of degree (as opposed to a different element) then the gymnast must clearly attain that degree. Otherwise, any attempt is sufficient to gain bonus.
3.3 Excessive Assistance
For Levels 1–5 compulsory routines, where it is permissible for a skill to be performed with coach assistance, the coach may assist the skill only (i.e. the gymnast must show an ability to perform the correct action). Where the gymnast is deemed to have performed the skill with excessive assistance a flat deduction of 0.3 will be applied. Please note this does not apply for assistance when mounting an apparatus.
4. Treatment of Invalid Vaults (FIG COP Article 13.2.2)
The FIG rules pertaining to invalid vaults will not apply in Australia at Levels 1–8 (including Level 7 Open and Level 8 Open) under certain conditions:
a) When the vault was so poorly executed that it cannot be recognised b) Pushing off with his feet from the vault table c) If the gymnast double touches the vault table d) If on landing, the feet do not hit the ground before any other body part e) When the vault was executed without the hands touching the vault table
(for those vaults that use a vaulting table) f) Intentional sideways landing.
Under these conditions the invalid vault will be assessed normally by the E jury, and the D jury will reduce the vault's normal Difficulty Value by 2.0 points.
Running related error: In the case where the gymnast runs past the board without performing a vault or he stops and backtracks to start the vault again, then the gymnast will be permitted a second attempt. The start score of that second vault will be reduced by 1.0 point by the D jury. A maximum of two such attempts will be permitted at all levels (running related error provisions apply to compulsory and optional vaults at all levels).
5. Coach Presence Required
At all levels except Level 10 and Senior International, a coach is required to be present at the apparatus to potentially assist a gymnast in the event of something unexpected occurring that may place the gymnast in danger. This rule applies to rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bar. During competition coaches should attempt to position themselves to be able to readily assist the gymnast if required, but should be mindful to not obstruct the judges’ view of the competing gymnast wherever possible. Judges should remind coaches of this requirement when required. The head judge on each apparatus should remind the coach of this requirement.

2017 FIG Code of Points (CoP) Interdicted Elements The 2017 FIG CoP offers nations with junior development programs clear direction on the responsibility of the event co-ordinators, participants and stakeholders in ensuring the skill development of junior athletes is of a safe nature in maintaining their physical wellbeing. For this reason, no junior athlete (i.e. any athlete not competing level 10 or Senior International requirements) is permitted to compete interdicted (prohibited) elements identified in the 2017 CoP. Interdicted elements are identifiable by a RED circle in the bottom left corner of the element box in the CoP. These elements only relate to Rings & Parallel Bars. Example
Rings Elements Element Group I: 20, 27, 28, 29 Element Group III: 39, 40 Parallel Bars Elements Element Group I: 20, 45, 46, 47, 52, 98, 100, 101, 107, 113 Element Group II: 20, 23, 24, 26, 29, 45 Element Group III: 10, 36, 44, 47, 52, 53, 56, 60, 124
Short Routine Penalty At level 7, 8 & Masters Open only, the penalty for performing a routine that does not meet the minimum requirement of recognised elements will be penalised as a technical deduction by the D1 Judge as per the following table.
Elements Level 7 Level 8 Masters 5 -0.0 -2.0 -0.0 4 -1.5 -2.5 -1.5 3 -2.0 -3.0 -2.0 2 -2.5 -3.5 -2.5 1 -3.0 -4.0 -3.0
