Men Skipping levels

[Mom2twingymnasts]

My daughter is sort of skipping level 6 – she had to do one meet at level 6. My son is working toward skipping level 6. He has a few more level 7 skills to get and his first meet is in January. His coach hasn’t mentioned that he would need to do one meet at level 6 yet. He is not working on level 6 routines at all. Are the rules different for boys and girls? If so, why?

Rules for boys ARE different. I'm pretty sure that for MAG, the coach can place a boy wherever they think he belongs. I'm sure some coaches will chime in here shortly.

TQM is right. There are no moving up requirements in men's USAG levels. They can compete whatever level the caoch signs them up to compete.
