All-Star Level 1 ?

[gymmomla]

Hey everyone... Our gym is very new & the coach has been talking lately about starting a all stars team . He said he may have enough kids to have a level 1 team too . What skills are required for level one? Thanks

Here are some skills you typically see on a level 1 team:
Front Walk Over
Back Walk Over
Round Off Back Walk Over
Front Walk Over Round Off Back Walk Over

 

[Pebbles49]

Forward & backward rolls
Back extension rolls
Specialty passes with Cartwheels, Round offs, Front and Back Walkovers, maybe, back extension rolls

Thigh stands, two legged preps, 1 legged stunts at belly level.

Level 1 is the lowest and is where most beginners start! Just because he doesn't have the highest level skills within the level doesn't mean he's not ready. In L1, concentration and hard work matter more than skills, especially for the younger kids.

They practice stunting all the Time he's pretty good at that

He should be fine. It is the starting level. Many Coaches work with the kids on mastering different level 1 skills over the Summer, before you start comp. season.

I hope that we get enough younger kids to make a level 1 team . Right now there is just Noah & 2 other little girls his age . We want them to be part of a team too [emoji5]️

Every age bracket has a LVL 1 category.
It looks like the team would be a Youth LVL 1 or a Junior LVL 1 just off size.

Youth is 11 & under

Also routines evolve as time goes on too.

In CP's last gym quite a few of the kids were brand new and didn't have solid enough front walk overs and back walk overs to put into the routine so there was a lot of cartwheel and roundoff combos instead.

Just saw a video of them after their last competition and the entire tumbling section has evolved times twenty with most doing a FWO, BWO, or combo now.

So even if they don't have their first competition doesn't mean the routine won't evolve and get more challenging as the season progresses.
