To compete in level 6 gymnastics a gymnast must
be able to do the following skills on each of the
four events.
In addition to the skills listed below, level 6
routines must each have 5 “A” skills and 1 “B”
skills. In gymnastics each skill has a value, A’s are
the easiest all the way up to E’s which are the
hardest. So when the choreographer is
choreographing the routine, he or she will need to
make sure to add the right amount of skills and
difficulty.
LEVEL 6 GYMNASTICS REQUIREMENTS: VAULT
front handspring
LEVEL 6 GYMNASTICS REQUIREMENTS: BARS
-cast to minimum of horizontal
-1 bar change
-one element that is one of the following:
underswing, clear hip circle, stalder circle or
hecht
min “A” dismount
LEVEL 6 GYMNASTICS REQUIREMENTS: BEAM
-1 acro element that starts and finishes on the
beam
-1 leap or jump requiring 180 degree split
-360 degree turn on one foot

LEVEL 6 GYMNASTICS REQUIREMENTS: FLOOR

-connected flight elements with or without hand
support
-1 Salto or Aerial acro element
-Dance passage with minimum of 2 different
leaps, jumps, hops- 1 must be a 180 degree split
-360 degree turn on one foot
Once a gymnast can perform routines that meet
all these level 6 requirements, and she has passed
out of level 5, she may compete in a level 6 meet.
After successfully completing level 6, she can
move on to level 7.
LEVEL 7
To compete in level 7 gymnastics a gymnast must
be able to do the following skills on each of the
four events. Level 7 is a mix between compulsory
gymnastics and optional gymnastics–so while the
routines aren’t set like in compulsory gymnastics,
the requirements are very specific.
In addition to the skills listed below, level 7
routines must each have 5 “A” skills and 2 “B”
skills. In gymnastics each skill has a value, A’s are
the easiest all the way up to E’s which are the
hardest. So when the choreographer is
choreographing the routine, he or she will need to
make sure to add the right amount of skills and
difficulty.
LEVEL 7 GYMNASTICS REQUIREMENTS: VAULT
front handspring
LEVEL 7 GYMNASTICS REQUIREMENTS: BARS
-1 cast- minimum of 45 degrees from vertical*
-2 360 degree clear circling elements–they can be
the same or different (an example of this would
be a clear hip or a giant)
-one of the clear circling elements must be a “B”
valued element*
-salto or hecht dismount, minimum “A” value.
LEVEL 7 GYMNASTICS REQUIREMENTS: BEAM
-an acro series with a minimum of two elements
(ex. backwalkover, backhandspring)
-one acro flight element (this can be included in
the series) (this could be the backhandspring in
the previous example)*
-one leap/jump requiring 180 degree split
-360 degree turn on one foot
-aerial or salto dismount that is at least an “A”
element
LEVEL 7 GYMNASTICS REQUIREMENTS: FLOOR
-one acro series ( 3 or more flight elements)
which includes a back layout (back salto
-stretched to two feet–this basically means a
back flip in the straight position)-this could be
round-off back-handspring back-layout*
-a direct connection of two or more forward acro
elements with flight (one element must be a
salto or an aerial)–this could be front
handspring-front tuck*
-dance passage with minimum of two different
elements one a leap with 180 degree split
-360 degree turn on one foot
Once a gymnast can perform all of these skills and
she has passed out of level 6 she can compete in
a Level 7 meet. And after successfully completing
level 7, she can compete level 8.
