USAG Optional Program: (Invitation only)
 
Miss Libby’s Optional Team includes levels 6/7, 8-10  Optionals focus on gymnasts demonstrating their talent and creativity by developing their own routine.  These routines consist of special difficulty requirements which are finely tuned at the optional level. 

​

Level 6: is the entry level for optional competition. Optional levels are levels where each gymnast has a different routine, so they aren’t judged on the specifics of the routine. They are instead judged based on the skills they perform and the overall level and performance of the routine. 
  
Level 7: is a mix of both compulsory and optional.  In Level 7, it is a mix of compulsory and optional because the requirements are more specific but each gymnast still has a unique routine.

​

Levels 8-10: Each gymnast has a unique routine on each event, and she chooses which skills to use to fulfill the requirements.  The requirements for Level 9 get more complex.  Level 10 is the last level in the JO program.  Once a gymnast can perform all the skills required at level 10 she may choose to try out for the Elite program. The Elite program is similar to going “Pro” in other sports, because once in this program a gymnast can compete in Olympic Trials or other professional events.
