Within the structure of USA Gymnastics, the women’s program is organized into divisions based on skill level. These divisions, often referred to as levels, categorize athletes according to their proficiency in various gymnastics skills. A gymnast progresses through these levels by demonstrating mastery of increasingly complex routines and meeting specific performance standards.
This structured progression allows for systematic development of gymnasts, ensuring safety and fostering progressive skill acquisition. The levels provide a framework for competition, allowing athletes to compete against peers of similar abilities. Historically, this system has been instrumental in cultivating talent within the sport and contributed significantly to the success of the United States in international gymnastics competitions.
