Policy Update Summary

Updates from Board Meetings

  • Our Fall September 2021 Meeting determined the return to "Normal In-Person" competition for the Championship season.


  • Rules and policies are added on from year to year.  If the policy on this page is dated prior to 2015 the rule is still current.  Amendments are discussed each fall and posted in the fall minutes.  It is the members responsibility to be current with rules and policy.   Mandatory attendance at the fall meeting will insure your knowledge of policy, rule changes & amendments.  
     
  • The Midwest Amateur Gymnastics Association, Inc. seeks to fulfill its purpose by organizing and sanctioning programs for girls and boys at all levels of age and ability at local, state, and regional levels. MAGA also seeks to promote its purpose by providing for the technical organization and development of specific guidelines, rules, and policies for competition and publish and disseminate the same information while providing an organizational structure to interpret and implement these guidelines rules and policies.
