Bronze level routines should be comprised primarily of stunts and pyramids performed at shoulder height or below and beginning level tumbling (ex. cartwheels, round-offs, rolls).

“Possibly” means if you have them in your routine, great, if not, don't worry about it, they're not expected at this level.

Expected skills include 1 or 2 legged stunts at thigh level, 2 legged stunts at shoulder level Possibly a pyramid with braced 1 legged shoulder level or 2 legged extended level stunts Rolls, cartwheels, round-offs, possibly walkovers Possibly more advanced tumbling skills performed by 25% or fewer of team members

Not permitted in Bronze:

  • Shoulder-level free standing 1 legged stunts
  • Basket tosses
  • Twist cradles
  • Inverted and Flipping pyramids

Please call Lisa at 413-531-2095 with questions if you are unsure about what level your routine fits into or for suggestions on how to modify your existing skills to fit this level!

I have read and understand these rules.

Silver level routines should be comprised primarily of stunts and pyramids performed at shoulder height or extended on two legs and beginning to intermediate level tumbling (ex. some walkovers or handsprings). Single leg extended stunts are expected to be confined to pyramid structures and there should be hand-support during the majority of standing and running tumbling skills.

“Possibly” means if you have them in your routine, great, if not, don't worry about it, they're not imperative at that level.

Expected skills include 1 or 2 legged stunts at thigh and shoulder level, possibly extended freestanding stunts on 2 legs, possibly inversions Pyramids with braced 1 or 2 legged extensions, possibly non-inverted release transitions Rolls, cartwheels, round-offs, possibly walkovers or handsprings, or possibly more advanced tumbling skills performed by a few team members

Not permitted in Silver:

Flipping pyramids: releasing a top to perform a hips-over-head rotation while held only by bracers in stunts is not permitted in Silver. (This includes 180 degree rotations, for example a top starts in an inverted position and is popped by the bases, directed to a vertical position by the bracers and caught again by their bases.) Other inverted maneuvers in pyramids are fine as long as a base, back or front maintains contact with the top the entire time.

Basket tosses, Single twist cradles and 1-legged extended stunts: may be performed by LESS than half of stunt groups in the Silver level. These skills are at the very top of the progression, considered to be some of the most difficult and high-risk stunts allowed. If your routine currently contains these particular skills but not enough other elite elements to warrant being in the Gold division, it is very easy to adjust them. For example, instead of twisting on the cradle, try a toe-touch, or simply straight cradle for the day. Change some of your baskets to showextensions, the counts will be the same, no formation changes or anything will be necessary.

Examples of “less than half” for stunt groups:

3 groups = 1 group may twist, 4 groups = 1 group may twist

5 groups = 2 may twist, 6 groups = 2 may twist

Gold level routines should be comprised primarily of stunts and pyramids performed at extended levels and intermediate to advanced tumbling skills (ex. many handsprings, some series tumbling which includes flips).

Expected skills include extended freestanding 1 legged stunts, inversions Pyramids with release transitions or flipping skills Rolls, cartwheels, round-offs, walkovers, handsprings and more advanced tumbling skills performed by some team members
