Level 4.2 :new:

Trying to understand how this division is being used, would any gym who has this division care to share if they are using level 4 crossovers, and if the tumblers are truly level 2? It just seems odd that there are so many athletes who cant tumble but have no problem with level 4 stunts.

Stunting and tumbling are not the same thing. Look at high school teams. There are many strong stunting schools with limited tumbling. Stunting is easier to progress then tumbling. Under good coaching any cheerleader can stunt at a high level; the same can not be said for tumbling. Many cheerleaders no matter how many hour spent in training can still not do a standing tuck but they can do a double down, and a twist from a single leg stunt.

I think it is a no brainer for some athletes, great idea and wish luck to those who pursue it. Not everyone is good in tumbling, but it does give those athletes a place. Good luck to all!

This makes sense to me, as long as this is exactly how gyms are using it.

In my opinion no division will ever be truly used for what it is for, you will always find another coach or gym that wants to sandbag or not follow the rules, all we can do it represent our gyms to the best of our abilities!
