Women College gymnastics

[Aussie_coach]

All these posts about college gymnastics in the USA has me curious. What types of skills/skill level would be expected of a gymnast to compete at a Div 1 school?

What is the usual difficulty level of college routines?

USAG Level 10, with a D or E skill. Example, Vault a chenko 1 1/2, Bars Yeager, bail handstand and double lay dismount.

This will give a good perspective of the top level. Just skip through and you can watch a few gymnasts on each event.

Difficulty is essentially the same as level 10. They changed vault recently so a 1 1/2 is needed for a 10 sv on vault, but most D1 gymnasts still only do full, like level 10. College UB and beam routines tend to have fewer elements than the best level 10 routines, level 10 is more strict about composition and up to level deductions beyond special requirements. Floor is very similar.

Here are the rules if interested. It’s not very long because it presumes knowledge of the JO code. Link Removed
