TOP LEVEL 4 GYMNASTICS COMPULSORY ROUTINE VIDEOS While it is obvious that Level 4 gymnasts are beginner compeittive
gymnasts and often young, we have chosen some routines that while not perfect,
display certain points of execution, aptitude and attitudes that other
level 4 gymnasts should observe and emulate if they want to be successful
and win.

"9.8 Level
4 Floor Exercise" My favorite part about this routine is the attitude displayed running
onto and off the floor - it attracts positive notice before the routine
even starts and shows confidence, aggressivenessand displays a unique personality.
While this routine is obviously overscored (there are more than .2 of deductions),
probably due to scores on lesser routines being too high, there are many,
many things you can praise and admire about the routine. What else
you can learn from this routine is how well beautiful dance and posture
with elegant arms, hand and finger positions, outstanding toe point, turn-out
and outstanding flexibility can go toward giving you good scores.
Look and see if you think you see toe point error on the hop, back roll
deduction, 1/2 turn deduction, bent legs on round-off back handspring and
not holding ending pose long enough among other things.
"9.575 Level
4 Floor Routine" This routine shows some better major element work (e.g., Straight Arm
Tuck Backward Roll), but lacks the polished dance of the routine above.
"9.825 Level
4 Floor Routine" This routine shows how to minimize deductions by eliminating the obvious
deductions. It may not be a supremely stylish routine, but it leaves
little for the judges to take off for.
"Level 4
Beam and Floor Routines" This is two Level 4 routines. I particularly like the beam mount
which demonstrates the flexibility, rhythm and most of all swing that should
be displayed during the whip up. Ignore the leap on beam, which is
uncharacteristically weak, in terms of the rest of the routine. An
excellent and very clean floor routine with few deductions.
"9.25 Level
4 Floor Routine" This routine shows flashes of style and excellence. One must
remember that these are Level 4 routines and gymnasts and look for the
good things in the routine and ignore less than perfect areas of execution.
"A Level
4 Floor Routine Showing Potential" This routine is an excellent example of the advantages of training
and/or possessing above average strength and flexibility at the very start
of your gymnastics career. While this is obviously an unpolished
routine, it is also an example of a gymnast with great upside potential
due to her flexibility and strength.
"Level 4
Bar Routine has Rhythm" This is a great example of what a winning Level 4 bar routine should
look like. Demonstrates excellent leg form and toe point and very
good continuous routine rhythm.
"Level 4
Bar Routine" This is a good example of what a Level 4 bar routine should look like.
Errs on the side of aggressiveness
"Winning
States on Level 4 Beam" This is a State Championship winning routine and deservedly so.
While you can see that the gymnast is really holding back in order not
to fall, you are still seeing an excellent routine. Don't bother
wasting your time watching to see the score after the routine is over.
It is 9.675.
"Another State Championship Level 4 Beam" I like this more because of the perspective it is shot from than as
the absolute best example of Level 4 beam. Excellent handstand! This
routine was good enough to win the 1st Place at the California State Championships.
"Same Gymnast as Above at a Different Meet doing
Level 4 Beam" This gymnast has definite style and while the routine is perhaps not
as good as above, it is still worth watching. Shows good examples of some
stylish cover-ups of slight balance problems.
"Another Decent Level 4 Beam" Good enough for 1st Place in Puerto Rico Nationals.
"Level 4
Vault Example" The viewing angle is not great for seeing the perfectly
straight body line in the vault. Don't particularly recommend running
back like this to do the second vault.

"Level 4

second vault is best.
