ABSTRACT Gymnasts' physical fitness is very necessary in rhythmic gymnastics, plus during a pandemic like today, children are more dominant in holding gadgets than doing physical activities for their fitness. The problem in this study is based on observations and surveys conducted in DIY where the lack of children in participating in rhythmic gymnastics and not being properly socialized. The tests that will be carried out by researchers are the basic components of biomotor for girls aged 7-9 years. This study aims to develop special biomotor components for rhythmic gymnastics so that coaches and elementary school sports teachers can find out in choosing gifted and potential children in this gymnastics so that they can be processed towards peak performance. The method chosen is a preliminary study using early childhood subjects. The test instruments used in this biomotor component are balance, flexibility, agility and strength. These components are supporting the basic biomotor components in rhythmic gymnastics so that every gymnast must have mastered the basic components.
