Level 1 students in these classes begin doing more specific work on their own competition apparatus. In Level 1, all students are expected to enter the gym on their own, while grown-ups either stay in the lobby or leave the building. All gymnastics apparatus is used. Girls will use the short and tall beams, the floor, the trampolines (including the Tumble Track), the big bars, and will begin working on pre-vault skills. Boys will use the floor, the high bar, the rings, and the pommel horse, or skills leading to the safe use of this equipment. In Level 1, the instructors will set up stations, and describe stations to students. Students will rotate through their stations for practice and correction. Students will learn body positioning fundamentals, forward and backward rolls, cartwheels, balance, supporting body weight on bars, and other skills.
