General Gymnastics is the basis of all Gymsports and a GymSport in its own right.

Clubs can utilise General Gymnastics as a starting point for teaching the fundamentals, before gymnasts specialise in any of the other 6 GymSports. Alternatively, clubs may focus on developing General Gymnasts with diverse skills, adaptable to a variety of movement experiences.

General Gymnastics has been categorised by the International Federation of Gymnastics (FIG) into the following areas:

	Gymnastics on and with traditional, innovative or creative apparatus Playful apparatus gymnastics Floor exercies and gymnastics
Gymnastics with and without hand apparatus Rhythmic gymnastics Jazz gymnastics and jazz dance Modern dance Aerobic gymnastics
	Activities which contribute to the health and wellbeing of participants
Kindergym and Cheerleading fall into the above categories and therefore come under the General Gymnastics Banner.
