The NGL Challenge League has been created to make gymnastics training more engaging, focused and competitive. The challenges give gymnasts the opportunity to test their strength and skills during normal training sessions and compare their results with athletes across the country. To help integrate the challenges into normal training.

The challenge is simple:

Who can hold the longest handstand?

Whether you’re a current gymnast, a former gymnast, a coach, or simply someone who enjoys a challenge, this is your chance to test yourself and see how you compare with others across the country.

The challenge is free to enter (promo offer) and can be completed at home or in the gym. All results will appear on the NGL National Leaderboard.
