WAG COP Question: Split Angle Requirements L4 and L5

[GymGirl's Mom]

Hello, just wondering what the sissone and leap and straddle jump requirements for split angle on floor for L4 are. How about leaps on beam?

How much does the requirement increase for L5?

Where is the angle measured from? It is bottom of knee on forward leg to front of knee on back leg?

Just curious- not coaching from home or anything- just looking at DD's videos and wondering what the degree on her leaps are currently and where they need to be.

Level 4: split leap on beam, split jump on beam, straddle jump on floor, and split leap on floor must all be 120. The sissone on floor is not a major element, so there is no angle requirement, per say, though the coaches are still looking for nice amplitude, straight legs, ext.

For level 5, they must all be 150 on beam and floor.

Thanks! How is the angle of degree measured? Form what starting point to what ending point?

I think the top picture should answer your question about how it's measured.

Lowest points- usually knees.
