Elizabeth, USA-G Power Tumbling Level 6 - back handsprings

[katieblambert]

thats novice in USTA level USTA level are sooo much easier than USA levels

[jensenjared279]

USA levels are sooooooooooo confusing... Canadian ones are much simpler :D

and what is a flic? lol i have never heard it be called that... i believe we call em whips

[Tumblermom]

Actually I believe flic or flic-flac is the same as a back handspring (shown in the video). Whips are different - hands cannot touch the mat, like a layout.

Can someone please explain the American tumbling levels system?

I'll try! This is USA-G Jr. Olympic level 6 tumbling 1st pass. 2nd pass is RO, BH, back tuck. There are 10 levels of USA-G JO compulsory tumbling and tramp routines. Level 5+ who qualify can compete at Nationals (Jr. Olympics). They have to achieve a certain score to qualify and a higher score to mobilize to the next level. Athletes 12+ who have mobilized past level 10 are Jr. Elite and Sr. Elite are 17+ who have mobilized past Jr. Elite. Google USA-G for more info. What about Aussie levels?

[genericname1234]

Pretty straightforward, in ages up to 10 years is five skills (usually R/O, flic, flic, flic, tuck or pike or layout or layout full). 11+ have 8 skills each with a minimum and a maximum degree of difficulty (same as 10 and under). If they want to exceed the maximum and they've competed successfully before (met the DD and received a qualifying score) they can compete in the Junior (under 17) or Senior (17+) Elite division.

okay, all i know is USTA. it goes sub-begginer, which all they do is rolls, and then begginer, which they add stradle rolls too, advanced begginer, which consists of backwalkovers and all of that stuff, sub novice, which is backhand springs, and then novice, which is just more back handsprings added to your pass, then intermediate, where you do backs, second year intermediate, which you do more of layouts and whips, then subadvanced, whips+, advanced, fulls n doubles, elite is adv. to xtreme.
