Can a front layout be in a floor routine at Platinum level?

 

[Em09]

I think so...

PLATINUM FLOOR REQUIREMENTS​

Platinum gymnasts must have the following in their floor routine:

1. 6 “A” & 1 “B” valued skills
2. Minimum of two directly connected acro skills, both must have flight and one must be an “A” or “B” salto (ex. front handspring, front tuck)
3. Either a 2nd pass of 2 directly connected acro skills with flight or a “B” salto (ex. roundoff– back handspring– back tuck or a front pike)
4. A dance passage with two skills, one of which is a leap with a 150 degree cross or side split –they can be directly or indirectly connected
5. Minimum of 360 degree turn on one foot

Those are the requirements, and a front layout is a B skill, right? So I think if you connect it, it could be in that first pass.

 

[Coach Kate]

Yes. Two of ours competed RO BHS BT as their first pass and a punch front layout as their second. But most of.ours do front pikes instead.

Yeah, I do it in my routine and I have seen a bunch of gymnastics do it in there routine.
