Vault
Floor exercises are performed on a 12m x 12m floor area. The gymnast should show a variety of skills, flexibility and strength.
The coach and gymnast put a routine together in accordance with the grade they are working towards, but the gymnast should add their own personality.
Parallel bars
A combination of swinging elements and balances are performed between and across the bars. The gymnast must travel the full length of the apparatus and work on top of the bars as well as below them. The gymnast swings in and out of handstand with giant swings and somersaults between the bars.

High Bar
The high bar incorporates swinging and flight movements including changes of grip and the gymnast releasing and re-catching the bar, which is set 2.60m high in the air. This piece of apparatus is considered one of the most spectacular of all gymnastic events.

Pommel Horse
A routine on pommels is composed of smooth, continuous pendulum-type swings and circling movements of the legs. All parts of the horse should be used with a combination of double leg circle, scissor movements and handstands. This is regarded by many as the most difficult apparatus to master.

A gymnast on the rings displays a variety of movements demonstrating strength, support and balance. They perform swings and holds requiring considerable strength with both forward and backward elements finishing with an acrobatic dismount.

Vault
This is a dynamic exercise from a springboard over a vaulting table 135cm high. It demonstrates power and accuracy combining height and length, often with multiple rotations or twists at the highest levels to finish with a controlled landing.
Stamina, co-ordination and discipline are taught through the grades.
