Artistic gymnastics is the base of all disciplines in Gymnastics hence it is the most prestigious and important discipline in Gymnastics.It is really sad that this gymnast train so hard but due to federation disputes they are the one who suffer.But,due to intiative of Maharashtra amateur Gymnastics association as well as late. MLA Ramesh Prabhu's RYP centre the nationals finally happened.It was relief for junior gymnast as junior nationals happened after an astonishing gap of 4 years.

Players from all over the country came with a great enthusiasm to participate in the Competition .
Teams from services,railways, Uttar Pradesh,west Bengal and host Team Maharashtra were the favourites to clinch medals.It is really intresting to see how every player sets a different target for a Competition.Some play to win,some play to establish themselves amongst top players,some participate to learn and gain experience.
So,the Competition began with senior team championship and allround Competition.
