Description
Girl's Level 4*
This
is the entry level into competitive gymnastics. It is for ages 6 and up.
Tryouts for this level are held in May. This level receives both achievement
and placement ribbons at each meet (about 6-8 per year).
- Girl's
Level's 5-9*
This
is by invitation only for ages 7 and up. Many gymnasts start out as Level
4's and are promoted to the next level when the coach feels they are ready.
All gymnasts progress at different rates. They will go to approximately
11 meets per year. These are the meets that we offer to take them to.
This does not mean they must attend all of them. We require that each
gymnast go to at least 3 meets per year. These levels receive placement
ribbons at meets and can also win team trophies.
* Note:
Level's 4-6 practice compulsory routines. This means that everyone performs
the same routine. Level's 7-9 are optional. This means that the gymnasts
create their own routines which are unique to their abilities.
