National Gymnastics League · Judging Pathway

From First Shadow to Paid Judging.

One route from never having judged before, to getting paid £50 to judge from home on a Sunday — built on real competition experience, alongside your British Gymnastics qualifications.

Apprentice Judge

Start your judging journey

New to judging? No qualification needed to begin. Shadow real NGL competitions, learn from qualified judges, and build toward your first BG qualification — completely free.

Club Judge

Turn your qualification into experience — and paid work

Already BG Club Judge qualified? Get second-judging (and sometimes main-judging) experience at real competitions, build toward Regional level, and pick up paid remote bookings when a Senior Judge isn't available.

Senior Judge

Get paid to judge from home

Regional qualified or above? You're first in line for remote judging bookings from clubs — £50 per competition, judging live from wherever you are, on your own schedule.
