Australian Yoyoing in 2024
Where Australian Yoyo Players Unite
Hi!
We are fellow yo-yo enthusiasts who meet regularly to share the spirit and camaraderie of Australian yo-yoing.
National Championship Divisions
Yo-Yo has various play styles, and in competition there are 5 main divisions from 1A to 5A.
They are separated depending on the number and type of Yo-Yo they use.
