Cantonal Association of Ticino Gymnastics (ACTG)
The Cantonal Ticino Association of Gymnastics (ACTG) was founded on February 20, 1869, and today has about 8,000 members and 34 affiliated clubs, distributed throughout the canton. The ACTG is thus the second largest sports association in the canton. For this reason it can be proud of its centuries-old history and traditions. Gymnastics, however, is above all movement and therefore evolves both organizationally and technically, wanting to ensure a future in step with the times. Gymnastics is as much a source of life for the body as it is for the human and associative experiences that come with it.
