The five rhythmic gymnastics apparatus
Rhythmic gymnastics routines are performed with five hand apparatus: rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon. Most gymnasts start with rope and ball and add the others as they move up the levels. Each one has its own size rules, so here is where to start.
- Rope: sized to the gymnast (stand on the middle; the ends reach the armpits). 2.5 m for smaller gymnasts, 3 m for juniors and seniors. Rope guide.
- Ball: 15-17 cm for children; 18-20 cm and at least 400 g for juniors, seniors and Levels 9-10. Ball size guide.
- Ribbon: a 50-60 cm stick with a satin ribbon of 4.5 m for children, 5 m for juniors and 6 m for seniors. Ribbon guide.
- Hoop: the top reaches the hip bone; 80-90 cm inside diameter for seniors. Hoop size guide.
- Clubs: about the length from elbow to fingertips; 40-50 cm for juniors and seniors. Clubs size guide.
Just starting out?
A rope, a ball and a pair of half-toe shoes are enough for the first season. Our beginner equipment guide lists what to buy first, and rhythmic gymnastics levels in the USA explains how the levels work.

Frequently asked questions
What are the five apparatus in rhythmic gymnastics?
Rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon. Gymnasts usually learn rope and ball first, then add hoop, clubs and ribbon as they progress.
What should a beginner buy first?
A rope sized to the gymnast and a ball suited to their age (15 cm for young children) are the usual first purchases, together with half-toe shoes. Ask your coach which apparatus your program uses this season.
Do I need FIG-approved apparatus?
For club training and most USA Gymnastics meets, apparatus has to meet the size and weight specifications rather than carry an FIG mark. FIG-approved apparatus is required at FIG international events and may be required at some elite meets. Check with your coach.
