These are the Level 4 gymnastics requirements; Level 4 is the fourth level in the USA gymnastics level structure. Level 4 is a compulsory level so each gymnast competes the same, identical routine. These are the skills that make up the new compulsory routine. Level 4 is the first required competitive level. Refer to our article outlining the gymnastics levels for more information on how they work.
Level 4 gymnastics routines are designed to teach essential skills while helping athletes refine their technique, strength, and artistry. At Level 4, gymnasts must master specific movements that form the foundation for more advanced skills in higher levels. In this article, we’ll break down the Level 4 gymnastics requirements, covering the skills needed on each apparatus.
To compete in Level 4 gymnastics a gymnast must be able to do the following skills on each of the four events and have reached her 7th birthday prior to the first competition.

If my daughter competed the old level 5 for two years scoring high enough to compete at state would she be allowed to compete the new level 4? I know it’s an odd question but it’s a long story.
She would be allowed to compete either the new level 4 or the new level 5 compulsory levels. The new level 4 would be essentially staying at the same level, so she would probably want to compete the new level 5.
Hi I’m nine and these are the tricks I can do. Roundoff, 30 cartwheels in a row, flip in the air, backbend kick over, walking handstand and some other little things like splits. What level would you say I’m on?
Rec or level 1
Hi Gymnastics lover
I am a level 6 gymnast. I would say you would be a level 1-2 or if you want to do xcel you would be a bronze
Hi I’m Emerson and im also 9 I can do a front handspring roundoff back handspring
full 1 leg turn on beab a handstand on the beam cartwheel 2/4 and off and front handspring dismount
for bar i can do a chinup pullover backhipcircle under swing straddle and can straddle jump from low to high on bar
I would say your about level 3 balancing level 5
I would say you are a level 1
I am a gymnast. I used to compete in the level 4 but not anymore since they changed it. Is there any way I can compete in just vault and floor?
I don’t think do sorry :-/
im excellent at gymnastics —— go check out my instargram @twistinglily_ Promotions ?????
How can I get my pullover,back handspring,front handspring,backbendkickover, and handstand flat back
Practice makes perfect! These all take a lot of practicing and hard work as well as conditioning to achieve the strength and flexibility needed to do these skills. Keep it up, you’ll get there!
You could praptice back walkerovers back bend kickovers and keep going in fast maybe you could practice backwards rolls or your could keep practicing run in to round off then back bend kick over and keep practicing and keep going faster and faster keep practicing you got it
You can scratch on an event. Usually it’s because of injury, or to make a friend not as left out when they scratch(A scratch in gymnastics is when you’re either not there, or you can’t compete in all events, so you present, touch or step onto the apparatus, get off, the present again.) Hope this clears some stuff up!
Yes some gyms can do that
Gymnasticshq.com
How can I do a backhand spring and back flip front flip and aerial both ways
You can but can’t move up a level
If you want to stay in the JO program you cannot. But you can if you move to the XCEL program
Yes you could you would just get zeros on the other two events
I really want to be a gymnast and I can do a lot of skills but what level are 12 year olds that have been in gymnastics since the age of like 2 usually compete in?
Hi, Im a 12 year old to. If you can do things like backhandsprings. I would say try for level 3 as for level four you need a kip which can be really challenging for some people.
Yeah kips are really hard. I competed level three, two years in a row trying to get my kip. Rn its almost comp. season and I am so close but still don’t have it after 4 different private lessons!!! I really hope I get it soon or else back to level 3 for me. I have all of the other skills but my kip is killing me mentally and physically (my hands hurt so bad I have 9 rips on my hands.) Just proves you right on how frustrating and hard they can be.
Hi McKayla,
It really depends–there are gymnasts of all ages competing at pretty much every level. If you want to be a gymnast, I say go for it! Regardless of age.
I wanna do gymnastics im 15 and i can a back bend and then i can kick over then i can touch my foot to my head and i can do cart wheels and and round off
So you can join any club! you will still have a high potential whatever the age. If you practice and practice in your free time you will soon pick up more skills which will help you to compete. The problem is I had this when I was younger, gymnasts who start only being capable of doing floor skills will tend to struggle with alarators but I’m sure if you try your hardest you will make progress to be the head of the game
I am level 3 and can do more advanced than THAT, so you would be a 1-2
Hi so im 12 and in level 3 (don’t judge). Im about to be in level 4 however I would say level 1 as level 3 has backhandsprings, level 2 has back hip circles and stuff like that, so definitely level 1.
Hey I was a gymnast when I was four but decided to quit I came back when I was nine I was a level two gymnast it’s been a year I am ten years old and I can do a backhandspring,round off back hand spring, a front walk over, back walk over, front hand spring, splits, handstand ,and other things
You should ask your coaches after the last meet of the season if they can help you try to reach the level 4 skills
Hey I was a gymnast when I was four but decided to quit I came back when I was nine I was a level two gymnast it’s been a year I am ten years old and I can do a backhandspring,round off back hand spring, a front walk over, back walk over, front hand spring, splits, handstand ,and other things I just need to know what level I am so I can see if I need to tryout for usag in spring please respond
Your probably a level 3, and you could probably compete level 3 if you get the bars valt and beam skills and it already looks like you have all the floor skills
So, im Level 4 (silver in my gym in squad) but my skill set is : flick, tuck back, front handspring, fly spring, front summie, upstart, jump to high bar, handspring flat back, handspring over and lastly on beam, backwalkover, frontwalkover, handstand, cartwheel and handspring/round off off.
I can do everything but my back walkover on beam and upstart on bar I’m mad bc I wanna get to level 5 lol
But I’d probably say if u were in my gym level 3
I have always wanted to be a gymnast. I could be a level 6, floor, if I back tuck my back extension roll. I have never been professionally trained and I am 15. What should I do this point?
I think its never too late to take a class!
I can do some but not all of these I took an online quiz because we dont have levels at my gym that said i was level 6 or 7 but i cannot even do all the level 4 requirements?! Im on a floor and vault squad by the way.
I live in England if that helps anything
Don’t trust quizzes. If you can do all the requirements for passing out of level 1, you’re a level 2. If you can do that PLUS the requirements for passing out of level 2, you’re a level 3. If you can do the requirements for passing out of level 3, you’re a level 4 and so on and so forth.
But since you live in the UK, look up the UK requirements and do the same thing. Listed above and on this website are USAG requirements
I did gymnastics for 4 years but my teacher quit when I was 8 so I stopped, I’m at a level 5 floor but haven’t done anything else, I can’t take lessons cause I cannot afford them what should i do?
Hi Briana,
I would say keep practicing at home! Doing conditioning and practicing the basics (like handstands) will help you improve. And maybe the high school you will go to will have a gymnastics team which would probably be free or at a low cost 🙂
Briana, If you have a YMCA gymnastics program in your area you can talk to them. They offer financial assistance to girls whose families can not afford gymnastics, and this does include competitive teams.
I would not recommend practicing at home. It can be dangerous and isn’t going to properly train you to compete in gymnastics. Certified instructors are trained to spot you when you’re learning a new skill as well as teach you how not to get hurt. Also, if you “teach yourself”, then begin training at a gym, you will have o be re-trained in proper technique, making it more difficult to learn the right way to do things.
Hi,
Is there height requirement for the vault table at level 4 meets? My daughter is struggling at a height setting of 2 we dropped down to a 0-1 height and she does great…..trying to get her confidence back. Are we allowed to set the vault at any number we find appropriate? Thank you!
Yep, the vault table can be at any height!
I am 11 years old an I am about a level 4 but still 3 am I too old to be at level 3
No one time their was a level 1 11 year old.
Hi i was also a level 3 when I was 11 but in my opinion nobody is too old for not 1level just do your best and youll be fine
At my gym that’s around the age of level 4 if you think you will feel uncomfortable ask a coach about it
I am 11 years old am I too old to be at level 3
nope!
i am almost 14 and can do level 1 gymnastics. Am i too old to begin level 2 gymnastics?
I have loved gymnastics since I was six or seven years old. I stopped classes when I was little and started again this fall. I am on pre-team this semester and will be team in fall 2017. Right now I’m level 4 but I would love to be higher by fall. Do you have any tips?
Hi,
I am a level 4 going in 5 gymnast, but where I live we don’t have very serious gymnastics. I have never done a meet I have only done s,all club floor competitions, my dream is the go to the olympics but I am the on any competition teams, my club doesn’t do them. I went to a club that did do it but they never gave me a chance to show them how good I was, I can do roundoof backhandsoing and nearly an areal, how could I get them to give me a chance to try out for the gymnastics competition team because it is my dream to get in it, but what we were doing was easy stuff for me and we weren’t doing stuff to challenge me?
I can do almost everything except the round-off back-handspring back-handspring. Any tips?
I can do most of the skills and an aerial. Do you think I could still be in level 4?
I really love gymnastics and want to do it. but my question is how much would u say its around for one year, and what can I do if i’m scared to do backhand spring on beam.
On a quiz it said I am level five. But I can do…
handstand forward roll
handstand
front tuck on trampoline
cartwheel
handstand
handstand on low beam
back walkover
round off
2 out of 3 splits
back hip circle
cast
cast away
regroups
all jumps( split, tuck, straight, leap, straddle) on trampoline all on beam all on floor
What level am I? Please help or respond! Thanks!
Glitteryunicorncupcake, quizzes aren’t necessarily that accurate. I’m a gymnast and I think you should probably be in level 3 or 4 (sorry to disappoint). In USAG you would be in level 3 and only move up once you get your round off back handspring, or in WAG you could be in level 4. Hope this helps!
You would be around a level two gymnast or on a developmental team based on USAG requirements. If you are looking to join xcel groups you would be in xcel bronze.
I love gymnastics! A quiz said I’m level 5 but I can’t do a kip, front hip circle, giant or more than 1 back hip circle! Is the quiz fibbing or telling the truth? Please help or respond! Thanks!

I do gymnastics and I’m going from level 2 to level four
Hey, I was in level four a year ago but I got a bad leg injury that got me out of gymnastics for a while and I always really wanted to compete in the Olympics when I’m older. I’m 14 now and I was wondering if it isn’t too late to continue? and if its possible to still learn more things.
It’s not to late I am 12 and I’m only a level 2 go for your dreams no matter what!!!
im moving to a different gymnastics and i only need 2 more skills for level 5 but i have summer training to learn the, is it possible to skip level 4?
it depends but you might want to get those skills because they might help later on.
My daughter just moved up to level 4. At level 3, she was doing 10.5 hours but now sge will be training fir 16 hrs per wk. My question to you is…what is the usag required hours of training for this level?
Thank you.
Their is no limit I’m going 16 hours
I can do a cartwheel round off forward and backward roll a 30-60 and kind of 90 degree split jumps on beam never been on bar or vault what level am I?
you might want to try level 2 so you can learn vault and bars.
Hi. I’m a level 2 but I can do everything except my mill circle. I can even do some of the level 3 stuff. Is it possible that I could advance to level 3 before my meet?
It would be possible for you to do it
No you can’t

Hi. I’m a level 2 but I can do everything except my mill circle. I can even do some of the level 3 stuff. Is it possible that I could advance to level 3 before my meet? I feel like a preschool class on floor (I can do most of the level 4 stuff on it). Please respond
I am a Gymnast but I go to a non-competitive gym so I don’t know much about this. But I am on an Acrobatic Show team and I know the feeling of being left behind. I have a lot of really strong and good skills but because I’m too tall they moved me to intermediate to be a base, but the coaches kid who is bigger than me by like 3 inches is on the advanced team. It sucks to feel like the standard held to you is bigger than everyone else’s. But I know that when the coaches kid cant do any of the things they ask her to because she can’t control her body in the air and the base can’t lift her up I will be moving up to join the advanced team as a base and she will be moving down to learn how to base. Keep working hard at that meet show those judges (and your coaches) how strong you are. Have fun, be focused and I bet you they will move you up in a month or a week.
I need my back extension roll. any ideas on how to help
I’m Kate and i’m 10. I’m level 4 but I feel like other kids my age are ahead of me. My coach say I’m where I should be but I don’t think so.
Hi!!! Most people that are younger and more advanced started when they were super young! Also they most likely had special training…. Keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll advance!!!
can i skip level 3 (without competing) and go to level 4?
I’m a level 3-ish and I really REALLY need to get to level 6 in a year for personal reasons. Does anyone have any tips for advancing quickly?
I am 13 and I have been doing self taught tumbling for like my whole life. I can do a Back and front walkover, cartwheel, back tuck, I’m a dancer but I really want to become a gymnast. Is it ever too late to join gymnastics?
It is never too late to start gymnastics! But, have realistic goals and think about the gym you decide to go to… if you’d still like a chance at competing internationally at the elite level you’re going to have to work very very hard and a good gym can help with that!
Can a gymnast be in xcel and switch to compulsory levels? Also can you skip level four and go straight to five, if so what/ how would you do so?
I did Xcel Silver and switched to Level 4 and then went back to Xcel Silver. So, you can switch between the two.
MY daughter is 7 years old and has skills for level 5-6! Can she skip level 4 once she has competed in one meet scoring enough for state??
No, a gymnast MUST compete a whole season at the least, of level four gymnastics before level five. But once in level five, they will compete one sanctioned meet And if get a 33 AA or higher they atamaticlly become a level six after that one meet.
No you only have to compete 1 meet at Level 4.
Hey, I am 13, and I want to start gymnastics, and can do a front handspring, front walkover and more. But not a back handspring. Is it too late to start? I am afriaid I will embarrass myself.
Hi Maria, the only tip you can really give for backhandsprings is to just go for it. It is going to seem scary at first but we promise that once you’ve done it once, you’ll have the confidence. Just believe in yourself. As long as you can do 5 press-ups, your arms won’t collapse so don’t worry about going backwards and falling. If this doesn’t work and you don’t have self confidence then you can always stack up pillows beneath your head and slowly remove them until there are none left.
You should tell your coaches how you feel and how badly you want to compete to help them understand it from your point of view. Show your coaches that you can do everything amd prove yourself to them.
Hey, I have been doing gymnastics since I was 7 years old I did rec classes till I was 11 witch this year I just joined team. They put me in level 3 I have gotten all my level 3 skills and I have all my level 4 skils except a kip and a squat on I really want to at least get to work with the 4s because I’m older then everyone on my team and I get really embarrassed so if u have any advice let me know!
Okay soo… I am turning 11 and right now I am at a pre-team at my gym. We don’t compete yet and I really want to. I was looking into another gym. At that gym, I could move up to a Xcel Gold. But, at my gym, I really like my coach. What should I do? Also, I am working on a back handspring. This would be in about a year… just wondering. PLEASE RESPOND!
Hi Annie, We’re sure you’ve made your decision by now and hope everything worked out for the best! Good luck!
I can do all of the skills up to level 3 on beam,floor,and vault, but I can only do level one skills on bars with a light spot. So what level would I be in?
Hi Christy, You would not be considered a level 3 until you can get all the required level 3 skills on bars. Definitely talk to your coach to figure out what level you should be in.
I am a Nigerian just beginning gymnastics at age twelve is it bad
If you love gymnastics then you it doesn’t matter how old you are!!
I started gymnastics when I was 10, and now I’m 13. I’ve been thinking about trying out for competitive, but I’m not sure if I’m ready because I can’t do some of the level 3 and 4 skill requirements, and I also think it’s a bit embarrassing to tryout since I’m 13. I’ve seen kids tryout for competitive and all look like they are ages 7-10. I really love the sport and I can’t imagine myself quitting, so why not tryout now before I’m too old? Please help, I’m really confused!!!
Im a 11 year old gymnast who’s got everything that I need for level 2 gymnastics. I am in recreational gymnastics but I want to move up to competition BADLY. My coaches just don’t see that I have got the required skills to make it to level two competition. Everything on the checklist has been ticked off. Please help me because I really want it badly and don’t know what to do. Also, how do you get over the fear of back handsprings? However much I try I am too scared to fall back.
Thank you.
I’m almost 12, and I started gymnastics when I was 3 but then stopped for 5 years (because of a move). I started back again when I was 8 and I have been going, but recently I stopped going (I really don’t know why). Its been about 3 months since I’ve gone back to the gym, but I can still do most of my skills. Is that bad, that I’m not going to gymnastics?
Also, I have been in recreational gymnastics. At the age of 12… Is that bad?
Hi Gracie, it all depends on your goals. If you love gymnastics and want to do recreational gymnastics because it’s fun then you should do it.
I’m 13 and recreational
I will be 13 by the next try out season but I have never competed before. I have most of the level 4 skills except the round off bhs and I am SO CLOSE to a kip, but I am afraid that I will be uncomfortable because I will be older and taller than everyone else
Hi! There are many gymnasts who are older and taller than other gymnasts in their level. If you love gymnastics then you should pursue it.
I can do most of these skills and a aerial do you think I could do this level?
Yes
Next year I will be a level 4 but on floor I have higher skills are you able to compete a front and back tuck in floor
My daughter is hoping to be a level 4 gymnast but doesn’t have a round off backhandspring or kip and long hang kip. She doesn’t even have a backhandpring! Does anyone have any tips on how to get the skills by June?

What is the requirement for level 4 splits in floor routine? (Specifically when they are turning out of the splits) I am thinking that she is getting a deduction for almost being down, but then when she turns her butt comes off the floor just a little.

I could do front and back walkovers, roundoffs, side and front splits, Balance beam cartwheel, back walkover, side splits, somersault, turning handstand.. And other things on the floor I cannot remember. On the uneven bars I could swing down and grab lower bar, turn around and swing back up to the taller bar and grab by my knees, adjust up to my waist and circle around the bar. What level would I have been.
is 15 way to old to start level 4?
Of course not start at any age and any level I started level 1 at 6 and now I’m older and level 4 so good luck it’s not too late to start

My 9 yr old granddaughter is in her 2nd yearv L4, she was 1st place AA last year but with several injuries & lockdown since last year her move to L 5 didn’t work out. She has had a hard time this year but did recieve a 34.5 at one meet. Her coaches are putting her in XL without any conference with her parents, she has her skills for L4 & a few of L5 but there were only 4 meets this year. Can we make the coaches keep her in L4 , there are several others that are in their 3rd year at that level, so she can point out at the next scheduled meet. Can she survive a move if she gets a 34AA or hight at a reginal meet coming up. Thanks from OHIO
Ok so if you can do everything on beam, floor, and the one vault move but can’t do any on the bar and your coach won’t help you what do you do i have a pull up bar at my house but I have a hard time training on that thing I flip it over please help
Thanks,
Kate
What are skills you need to get to level 8
Hi! I’m an Xcel Silver gymnast, thinking about possibly switching to JO soon. I can do all of the skills except a glide kip (which I’m really close to and I’ve done one before) and a longhang kip (which I’ve never tried), and I’m very close to a front handspring on vault and back extension roll on floor. I was wondering if I would be level 3 or 4 if I switched to JO. I have all the level 3 skills. Also does anyone have any tips on kips? I can get almost to front support but then fall out of it, I don’t have enough momentum to get all the way up.
How old should a level 5 gymnast be?
Hi Gymnastics lover
I am a level 6 gymnast. I would say you would be a level 1-2 or if you want to do xcel you would be a bronze
Hey, I used to do gymnastics but then I took a break to focus on studies and I decided to do self-taught, I’m 12 I can do a front handspring, aerial, backhand spring, back tuck with support, I’m not very flexible, I can also do a back walkover, front walkover, RBH with support, and some more what level should I be?

Hi –
That’s up to your coaches to decide!
I can do a front handspring on the vault and floor , round off back handspring, and all the other things on the list, but I cannot do a kip what level would I be on?

I feel like I have been at this level forever ♾!!! I can’t do my backhand spring or my front handspring but I just want to move on to five. What should I do to practice these if I’m not actually capable of it yet, and how can I practice at home if I don’t have someone to spot me???

I am 12. Am I too old to be a level 4?
No my friend is thirteen and level 2
Hi! Im 12 and I can do a cartwheel, kind of do a roundoff, I can do a handstand, front roll, back roll (not really), what level would you say I am?
You can go to a gym and ask for an evaluation. Most gyms will do an evaluation to see what level they would place you in 🙂
I got moved up to level 4 but I can barley do any of the stuff but when I am in level 3 its too easy. Should i be level 3 or 4 ?( I am 9)
Honestly for me as a level 3 almost 4 gymnast I would just go for level 4 and ask your coach if you could do slightly easier things or go back to level 3 and do slightly harder things it’s up to you.❤️
I am level three and yes, it’s very easy but the skills in level four are hard for me too. You should stay in level force since that’s the level that you need that you need to learn that’s not too easy for you. I’m moving to level four not so later this year so I understand how you feel and you should just keep training.
Hi Olivia, if you want to be a good gymnast then I would recommend competing in level 4. 9 is a great age to be a level 4, if you work hard, your skills will come easier for you.
I’m 9 I can do a backexstension roll and backhandsprings what level do you think I am?
Hi, I am 14 years old and have not been to a real gymnastics gym ever, no uneven bars and no foam pits or spring floors. I love gymnastics but my most advanced skill would maybe be a roundoff dive-roll, I can also do handstands and cartwheels and stuff lick that but i am not sure what level i am. I know that i am behind for my age but i would love some comments about where i should be(P.S. i am moving Gyms to a real gymnastics gym so with training there i might get better.) thank you
There isn’t any specific place or level you should be depending on your age – remember, everyone’s journey is different! Trust in your coaches and the gym – if it doesn’t seem like a good fit because you’re not getting what you’d like to get out of it, maybe consider looking at other gyms.
I am a level three gymnast and I am somewhat advanced. To make it to level 4 I have to be coached by a pretty strict coach. I’m advanced in all apparatuses but my bars and vault are average. If my strengths are not checked, or I can’t do a specific skill in level four expected level 3 then do you think I will make it to level four?
I can do most of the tricks back and frount flips back and front handsprings, frount and back walkovers all the jumps and lips, bar changes sole circles and backwalkovers on beam what level do u think I would be on
Maybe level 5 or 4

I am a Level 3 gymnast How can I get My Bach Hip Circle?
If you can do a Roundoff then probably Xcel silver on floor but 180 degree split leap is far past the requirements, you will probably get some good points for that
Hi I quit gymnastics when I was 9 and I’ve managed to retain both walkovers, cartwheels, handstand, front handspring, 180 split leap, and basic jumps (all with good form) what floor level will I be now after all these years?
