Women's Artistic Gymnastics Club Judge
Women's Artistic Gymnastics Club Judge
Women’s artistic gymnastics is an exciting discipline to judge. Competitors perform amazing routines made up of dynamic skills, choreography, and apparatus techniques.
Throughout this course you will learn the roles and responsibilities of a judge, how to judge, and how to arrive at a fair score. Upon successful completion of the course you will be able to judge at club and regional competitions as a member of the judging panel.
Becoming a judge is a great way to get involved with your local gymnastics club and help in the development of the sport. Anyone interested in women’s artistic gymnastics is eligible to take this course but you’ll need to be familiar with the discipline.
