2025 Rule Snapshot — Why “Lyrics-Free” Sass Still Matters
Under FIG rules, recognizable lyrics trigger a 1.0 deduction in sanctioned competition. NCAA athletes can still go full-lyric, but for USAG and FIG meets, clean instrumentals remain the safest bet.
⚠️ Important: Starting August 1, 2026, the rules get stricter. Any human or synthetic voice like words, hums, chants, or even vocal chops will count as lyrics.
That makes 2025 the last season gymnasts can sneak in vocal textures without penalty. For long-term consistency, choosing instrumental cuts now ensures your music stays competition-ready beyond 2026.
So, 2025 is your last chance to play with vocal textures before the window closes. To avoid costly re-edits later, it’s smart to remove all vocal elements now and opt for clean, instrumental cuts that can carry your routine through 2026 and beyond.
