There are many different organizations. I am a certified coach and judge through the USTA, which mainly focuses on competitive twirling. You have to practise, practise, practise. There is no other way to learn the skill. It involves strenuous physical activity in a particular skill.
Baton twirling is performed much the same way.
The athlete performs in front of a judge and is then scored based on performance. But it does take a lot of practice and dedication. I started baton twirling when I was four with my older sister in a group that performed for summer parades. Asked by Kyrsten Unfortunately, baton twirling is not an Olympic sporting event. We will continue to gain recognition for the sport in hopes that someday we will be in the Olympics.
