My gymmie is 6yo and SO excited to be joining the DP team this year! The coach had her try out for L2, but ultimately placed her in L1 so she can work on her form and shapes. That’s totally fine with us — she is just over the moon to have graduated from rec. 
Since L1-3 are not required levels, the coach said that depending on her progress, she could move up to either L2 or L3 next year. I’ll be happy with wherever they place her, and trust the coach’s judgement, but of course having heard this my very driven daughter has set the goal of L3.
From reading the requirements & watching the compulsory routines on YouTube she and I have a general sense of the skills competed at each compulsory level. However, I’m wondering whether there are a couple of gateway skills that sort of “unlock” each level from
L1-5? For example she needed a pullover for L1, and I’ve heard folks on CB talk about kips for L4.
Are there any skills like that (on any of the 4 events) she could set as a goal to “unlock” L3 for next year?
Thank you!!
