Cheerleading often has competitions for the best jumper and best tumbler.
A general guideline for tumbling levels is:
- Level 1 (beginning) is cartwheels and round offs
- Level 2 involves back handsprings
- Level 3 would be tucks
- Level 4 would have layouts
- Level 5 includes fulls, twists and whips. You are not allowed to perform these stunts if you are competing at lower levels.
Tumbling routines will consist of 1 running tumbling pass with at least 3 tumbling skills and 1 standing tumbling pass with at least 2 tumbling skills, and also be 1 minute maximum. Participants compete based on age group.
