ACRO - Acrobatic Gymnastics

Acrobatic Gymnastics is a spectacular Gymsport for athletes who want to share the thrill of performing balances, flips and twists with their friends. While other gymnasts might handstand on the Bars or Beam, acrobats find themselves balancing on their teammate’s feet, hands or shoulders. With roles as tops, middles or bases, there is a place for everyone in Acrobatic Gymnastics.
