"The NGL is the first-ever American gymnastics league," says league Director Sean Golden. "By providing a platform of fun, head-to-head competitions, the NGL springboards both athletes and fans into an entertaining mix of serious sport and lively, personal interaction."
"The league has gone great lengths in making the sport more entertaining for a mainstream audience such as adding offensive and defensive components, and a scoring system that is more comprehensible."
