USAG compulsory routines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The USAG Compulsory routines are the USAG (USA Gymnastics) designed/required routines for use in USAG and JO (Junior Olympic) Levels 1-6 programs. Typically gymnasts compete in Levels 4-6; however, in some regions competitions may be as early as 2. Gymnasts in the Compulsory levels may only compete using USAG authorized routines. Levels 7-10 are the Optional levels in which the gymnast may design her own routine while including a specific set of USAG required elements. Beyond Optionals are the Elite and then Olympic levels.
The following routines are for the 2005-2013 cycle of the USAG Women's JO Compulsory Program.
