THE GYMNAST GEM TOOLBOX / FREE DRAWINGS

Free Gymnastics Drawings for Clubs, Coaches and Teachers

These 40 drawings show gymnastics moves step by step, from a tuck and a forward roll to a back handspring and a glide kip. Gym clubs, coaches, PE teachers and parents can use them for free in handbooks, handouts, slides and websites. The one condition is a credit to Gymnast Gem with a link to this page.

Each drawing comes from our gymnastics moves library, which explains what the move is and where it appears in USA Gymnastics routines. The drawings show what a move looks like, not how to teach it.

Moves marked Learn with a coach need a trained coach, a spotter and proper mats. Don’t try them at home.

How to credit a drawing

On a website or social post, put this line under the drawing, with the link:

In print, “Drawing: Gymnast Gem (gymnastgem.com)” is enough. Each download already carries a small credit in its corner; please leave it in place.

Common questions

Can our gym use the drawings on its website?

Yes. Club websites, team pages and parent handbooks are exactly what they’re for. Add the credit line with its link under each drawing, or once near a group of drawings.

Can I change the drawings?

Yes, you can resize, crop or recolor them. Keep the credit, and don’t change a drawing so that it shows a move differently from the original.

Can I use them in something I sell?

No. The drawings can’t go into paid printables, workbooks, apps or merchandise. If you have a different use in mind, ask us first.
