Cheerleading/Level?

Question
Hi Kimmi
I am on a competitive UK cheerleading squad but we don't have Levels as you do in the USA. I was wondering if you could tell me roughly what level our squad is?
Also, our rules are different. Therefore, we aren't allowed to tumble into stunts for example.
Stunting:
-All-Girls single-leg single based extensions
-Up to tuck basket
-Single based pyramids
-Majority extension stunts
-Switching flyers - base turned flyer etc
-Mostly full downs from stunts
Tumbling (not as highly-required in UK squads)
- 1 handed cartwheels
- Round offs
- Backward
Hi Amy-Leah,
Well, my best guess as to your level would be our level 3. That's what my team is, and we do pretty much what you've listed. Our level 3 tumbling is harder than yours, but the stunting is pretty similar. You can check it out yourself. Here's a link to the listing of our Official USA rules.

Good Luck!
Happy Cheering!
