Compulsory Program

Our Compulsory Competitive Gymnastics Team is part of the USA Gymnastics Women’s Development Program and is designed to help gymnasts build a strong foundation of skills, technique, strength, flexibility, and confidence for continued advancement in competitive gymnastics.

The compulsory portion of the USA Gymnastics Development Program consists of Levels 4 and 5. At these levels, gymnasts perform standardized routines on vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise, allowing athletes to develop and demonstrate the fundamental skills and proper technique needed to progress safely through the competitive program.



Each level builds upon the skills learned at the previous level, giving gymnasts a structured path for continued development and advancement. Competitive opportunities are available through the USA Gymnastics State Championships as athletes work toward progressing into the Optional levels of the Women’s Development Program.
