Leisure Kicks - The essencial sport and leisure guide

Outside of the playground, gymnastics tends to be a highly competitive sport requiring a high level of training and dedication. Scoring in competitions is a complicated business and has been hotly debated and changed over the years, but in its most basic form, points are given for the difficulty of the moves and for the way in which they are carried out. Minor and major errors result in point deduction. For more specifics on the rules of all the disciplines and their respective apparatus, check out the British Gymnastics website.
