WAG Next Level

[Misunderstood]

For a gymnast to move up to level 5, they need a specific score during the season. Is that an actual requirement or can the coach make an exception if the gymnast was close to scoring that number ?

Assuming you are talking about USAG, a gymnast must score at least a 34.00 all around in level 4 at a sanctioned completion to move to level 5.

There is not wiggle room on this. It’s a national requirement to ensure some level of competence and safety.

Edited to add: Gyms or coaches may set their own standards that are higher than this. When I managed compulsory team, I expected a score in the 9s on bars, beam, and floor, with at least a 8.5 ish on vault, knowing they’d continue to develop the front handspring vault in level 5.
