Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG)
Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG) first originated in Finland as a branch of Women’s Gymnastics.
The sport of Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG) is based on stylized, natural total body movement. The sport involves harmonious, rhythmic, and dynamic movements performed with natural use of strength. All movements must be performed fluently, showing amplitude and variety in the dynamics and speed.
While the roots of the sport can be traced back to Finland, its branches have spread across the globe, turning women's gymnastics into demanding and exhilarating international elite sport.
Today, AGG can be practiced in up to 50 different countries around the world, and the sport continues to grow in importance as a hobby for children and young people. In the United States, under 20 clubs offer the sport. Taiga Gymnastics will be the first club in the state of Illinois dedicated entirely to the AGG.
The United States competes annually in the sport at the world championship level and the global goal is to make AGG an Olympic sport. To achieve these goals as the sport grows in the United States is also to increase its significance as a developer of children's physical activity and well-being enhancer. The gymnast's journey is a magnificent one, from a small toddler to a skilled young elite athlete.
