grades are alot different than levels in levels the higher the number the better u are and in grades the lower number the better u are i never even heard of grades before

[gemdiva2016]

@gymnastx0931 both UK grades and levels work the same way. Grades start at 14 and go down to 5. Levels start at 5 and go down to 2.

@gemdiva2016 in U.S. its just levels and they go from level 4 to level 10 i guess its a lot different here than in the the UK

[gemdiva2016]

@gymnastx0931 In UK more girls do grades than levels because its easier. Levels is the elite route and so for the top gymnasts in their age group. If they pass level 2 in age the next step is espoir British championships age 12 and only then can they be truly classed as an elite gymnast.

@gymnastx0931 Grades was changed 2 years ago. These girls now get the opportunity to compete at the British championships if they get a very high score in a comp known as the challenge cup. They can enter for this age 12. This is great for the late starters/ late peakers who still wish to go to olympics or worlds one day. They can continue to work hard and earn the right to compete with the elite girls at national level.
