The Gymnast of the Month is awarded by a panel of coaches for each of MAG and WAG. The award is given to each of the male and female gymnasts that have shown the highest level of commitment to their training, have made significant progress during the month and have set an example for other gymnasts to follow.

A gymnast may win the award on more than one occasion however the coaches try to spread the award across the team as far as is practical in order to provide broad encouragement to all members who show dedication to their sport.
