How MGA Skill Testing Events Work
During our skill testing events, students have the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they’ve mastered in class, performing each one individually in front of a certified judge. Every skill is evaluated and scored on a scale from 0 to 3--
After all events are completed, the scores are totaled to determine the student’s overall proficiency. Students who achieve an overall score of 80% or higher will be awarded a certificate of achievement, recognizing their successful completion of Skill Testing for that level.
Skill testing is a positive, encouraging experience that celebrates growth and motivates students to reach new milestones!

Students must achieve a score of 80% or higher during skill testing to demonstrate readiness for advancement. - In-Gym Competition Performance:
For some levels, earning a minimum score at one of our in-gym competitions is also required to move up. - Coach’s Invitation:
Certain advanced levels require not only successful skill testing and competition scores, but also a formal invitation from our coaching staff, ensuring each athlete is fully prepared for the challenges ahead.
