hoop

Rigid apparatus used in a wide variety of manipulations, such as rotations, throwing, rolls and passing through.

ball

Sphere that the gymnast manipulates to bring out suppleness and corporal expression, as well as the contrast between power for throwing and gentleness for catching.

rope

Apparatus whose length is proportional to the gymnast’s height; it is used mainly for jumping.

clubs

Apparatuses that are manipulated in a choreography made up of rotations, throwing and asymmetrical movements.
