What’s inside: Levels 6–10

Optional routines are built by each gymnast’s coach, so the Levels 6–10 book shows what each level requires and gives you worksheets to write the routine down together. Every level has 14 pages.

1. Cover: the gymnast’s name, gym, season and coach; how to use the book; the level at a glance.
2. How optional routines are scored: start value, Value Parts, Special Requirements and restricted skills for the level.
3. Vault: the vaults allowed at Levels 6–7, or space for the two vaults and their start values from the chart at Levels 8–10, with the vault rules.
4. Bars, beam and floor requirements: each Special Requirement with a box to tick, Value Parts, start value, composition credit (Levels 8–10), bonus and connection value (Levels 9–10), deductions, allowed and restricted skills, and time limits.
5. Routine builders: one each for bars, beam and floor, with the value the coach gives each skill and the requirements it meets.
6. Skills in progress: the skills she is working on, marked Learning, Consistent and Meet-ready with a date.
7. Moving up and qualifying: all-around scores and how State, Regionals and national meets are reached.
8. Season: goals for each event, a meet log and the season rules worth knowing.
9. Certificate: a certificate of achievement for the season.
10. Requirements chart: every Special Requirement on one page, also in large print.

In both bundles: a Meet Day Kit

Eight pages to get ready for a competition: a meet info sheet, countdowns for the days before and for meet day, packing lists, what’s allowed at a meet, how a meet session runs, a meet review and a season meet calendar. The rules on what’s allowed follow the 2026–27 Rules & Policies.

Who it’s for

The Levels 1–5 checklists are for parents of gymnasts in USA Gymnastics’ Women’s Development Program, compulsory Levels 1 to 5. They’re also a friendly way for new gym parents to recognize the major skills.

The Levels 6–10 book is for families of optional-level gymnasts. Skill values (A to E) come from USA Gymnastics’ Development Program Code of Points and aren’t reproduced: the routine builder has a column for the value the coach gives each skill. A start value worked out at home is an estimate; the judges’ start value is the one that counts. Neither book covers Xcel.

This is a progress record, not a complete routine script or instructions for unsupervised practice. Illustrations are skill reminders; follow your gymnast’s coach for technique, equipment and matting. The coach decides when a gymnast is ready for competition or the next level.

Up to date, and in our own words

Common questions

Can I print it more than once?

Yes. Print as many copies as your family needs, for example a fresh checklist each season.

Can I use it with my team or gym?

No. The license covers one family only. It doesn’t cover sharing the files or using them with a team, class or gym.

What if a file doesn’t work?

If a file won’t open or isn’t what we described, contact us within 14 days of your purchase and we’ll send a working file or refund you in full.

Does it cover Xcel?

Not yet. These checklists cover Levels 1–10 of the Development Program only.

Does the Levels 6–10 book give skill values?

No. Skill values (A to E) are in USA Gymnastics’ Development Program Code of Points. The routine builder has a column for the value your gymnast’s coach gives each skill, so you can estimate the start value together.
