skill question for level 7 floor

[PeaceGirl]

Does a level 7 Michigan gymnast have to do back tumbling in her floor routine? Is there a front tumble pass she can do instead? My daughter is a level 6 gymnast now and is having back tumble fear issues. She is a wonderful gymnast and I am just curious of our options. Thanks for your advice!!

I do believe that all level 7s have a requirement of a back layout.

Or at least one back pass.

One of the Special Requirements (worth .5) at Level 7 is: An Acro series (3 or more flight elements) including a back layout to two feet.

If it's USAG, they are required to do a back layout pass and a front tumbling pass with a salto.

Or at least one back pass.

Ok I looked it up.

According to USAG: Link Removed

FLOOR
One acro series (3 or more flight
elements) which includes a back
salto stretched to 2 feet (Back layout)

There must be a layout, not just any back pass.
