These 3 grades can be taken over a number of years or indeed all in one year once over 10 years old. So gymnasts can take these at any point in their lives when they feel ready. For those who struggle with the given set moves in grades or simply want a “one hit in” option there is also a second route to the British Championships through scoring out at Challenge cup which is a yearly competition. So the routes are there, gymnasts and clubs are already using them for older gymnasts but maybe these could be advertised and encouraged more for those capable of reaching FIG levels of competition.
