MAG NCE Scholarships 2016

The Gymnastics Australia (GA) National Centre of Excellence (NCE) for Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) is based at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), Canberra and provides scholarships for up to ten (10) of Australia’s best male gymnasts with uncompromised access to world class coaching, facilities and performance support towards the achievement of GA’s performance targets under ‘Australia’s Winning Edge’ (AWE). The primary aim of the MAG NCE is to prepare Australian athletes to achieve podium performances at benchmark events including Olympic Games, World Championships and Commonwealth Games.

Gymnastics Australia is pleased to announce the GA MAG National Centre of Excellence (NCE) Scholarship gymnasts for 2016.

Congratulations to the following gymnasts on being awarded a scholarship to train full-time at the GA MAG NCE at AIS, Canberra:

Congratulations also to the programs, coaches, families and support teams who have enabled these athletes to achieve selection to the GA MAG NCE.

The 2016 NCE squad is a mixture of experienced and emerging gymnasts. The established squad members will be working towards Olympic Test Event, Pacific Rim and Olympic Games in the first half of 2016 whilst continuing to enhance physical condition and build program difficulty.

New squad members will focus on strength and physical condition, consolidating their basic program and developing skills to increase routine difficulty looking forward to 2018 Commonwealth Games.

GA wishes to acknowledge the efforts of the 2015 inaugural NCE squad members not returning to the program and wish them well for the future.
