Did you know that rhythmic gymnastics competition requires minimum of 4 to a maximum of 16 panel judges to judge a single gymnast?
Over the last few years, we have seen competitions run with fewer then 4 judges. Many of our current judges are also coaches. This limits their availability to judge part or entire competitions. Rhythmic Gymnastics Manitoba mandate is to train judges at all levels from Club, Provincial, National to International Levels. We can train you!
Who is a good candidate to become a judge? An individual with keen interest in rhythmic gymnastics, who appreciates the intricacy of moving gymnast with the apparatus set to music, who watches rhythmic gymnastics competitions on the internet, comes to watch competitions even when not involved in other capacities, or volunteers in different capacities because of the opportunity to catch a glimpse of a competition. An individual who has keen observational abilities, can view performance without emotions and most importantly can render judgment with impartiality. Retired athletes, coaches, interested parents and athletes nearing the end of their competitive carrier or recreational/performing athletes make good candidates to be judges.
