USAG women’s DP · 2021–2029 compulsory cycle

Major elements only. This is a guide to the prescribed routine, not every movement, connection, arm position or judging rule.

  • Cartwheel and backward roll to push-up

    The backward roll finishes in a push-up position, not a handstand.

  • Half turn in forward passé

    Use the prescribed heel-snap technique.

  • Chassé, leap and split jump

    The straight-leg leap and the split jump each have a 60° split target.

  • Handstand

    Reach vertical and hold for 1 second.

  • Candlestick and bridge kick-over

    Both are part of the prescribed exercise.

Compulsory routines follow a set exercise. A harder skill is not automatically an allowed replacement. Use only the choices specified for this level.

Coverage, sources and data updates

Women’s USAG Development Program Levels 1–5: major-skill references for vault, bars, beam and floor; Level 5 bars is partial. Xcel Bronze–Sapphire: existing event references and selected bars, beam and floor checks. Deduction Finder: selected Xcel and FIG rules. Review dates are shown with each result. DP routine scoring, DP Levels 6–10 and men’s DP requirements are not included.

Routine checks use the answers entered. They do not identify skills from video, award an official score or decide which level a gymnast should enter. The rules engine supports selected requirements; some answers require coach or judge confirmation.
