"A. Entry Regulations and advancement
In order to compete in a sanctioned competition, an athlete must be a registered USA Gymnastics Athlete Member or Introductory Athlete Member (Levels 1-3 & PREP Optional).
A new gymnast must enter at the Jr. Olympic Developmental Level 1.
Athletes may not skip any level. They must advance one level at a time by scoring the minimum mobility score at any USA Gymnastics sanctioned competition (Exception: Levels 1- 4 do not have a mobility score)
Any athlete who has previously competed in the Jr. Olympic Program, but has been inactive for one or more years, must contact their State Administrative Committee Chairman for proper entry regulations. The options are:
a. Remain at the level at which they last competed.
b. Move up one level if they achieved the minimum mobility score during their last season,
c. Move down one numerical level, without petitioning.
Athletes whose competitive experience has been outside of the USA Gymnastics structure may petition the State Administrative Committee for entry into Level 6 or below and must prove their proficiency at that level."
For a club joining USAG, (athletes who haven't competed in a sanctioned competition) it is required to prove proficiency? How do you prove the proficiency of your athletes if they enter as level 4 or 5? (I'm assuming 4 or 5 under the new system)
How is this generally done? Will they accept scores from meets outside of the usag system?
