Who governs the competitions?
Crenshaws competes under the rules and guidelines of the USA Gymnastics. This is the organization which fields a team for all of the major national and international meets including the Olympics. A set of compulsory routines, Level 4-Elite are prepared by this organization. Most boys and girls entering the program will begin competition at the Level 4 level. At the Level 4 & 6, the routines are an exact set of skills or compulsories. Level 7-Elite routines involve the gymnasts and coaches to prepare their own “optional” routines under certain skill requirements. Each fall our gymnasts join the USAG which will cost about $50 per year.
