Objective of the study is to identify structural groups of movements with the ball, the performance of which is associated with a high risk of losing the object. To develop and experimentally substantiate the effectiveness of exercises with the ball that increase the reliability of performing structural groups of movements in group exercises.
Methods and structure of the study. The research methods included analysis of literary sources, video analysis of competitive programmes of gymnasts performing in group exercises, pedagogical observation of the training process, pedagogical testing of technical preparedness with the ball, and mathematical and statistical data processing.
The study involved gymnasts performing in group exercises under the candidate master of sports and master of sports programmes (n=20).
Results and conclusions. Structural groups of movements with the ball were identified, the performance of which is associated with a high risk of losing the object. The causes of errors in these structural groups were analysed. Exercises were developed to improve the reliability of individual components of object training with a ball in group exercises in artistic gymnastics.

Keywords: group exercises, artistic gymnastics, object training with a ball, technical preparedness.
