Compulsory gymnastics is set up to have a steady progression of skills that start out from the basics and build until a gymnast reaches Level 6. Levels 7-10 are referred to as the optional gymnastics levels. Optional gymnastics has a set of guidelines at each level with specific requirements which are used to construct routines.
