Teams compete on different levels that allow different skills. The level system starts with level 1, followed by level 2, and so on. Level 7 is the highest level in cheerleading, where the most skills are allowed. A common belief is that the higher level a team is on, the better it is. That is not true! The level does not indicate how good a team o...
Teams competing on level 1 have the most restrictions when it comes to skills. Despite the strict rules, many routines are very creative and teams perform difficult skills! For stunts, the flyer is not allowed to be held higher than prep level (exception for pyramids, see below), which is by the base’s shoulders. One-legged stunts are allowed but m...
On level 2, teams start doing more stunting on extended level and handsprings in tumbling. Two-legged stunts are allowed on extended level and one-legged stunts don’t need a brace on prep level. Teams are allowed up to ½ twist to extended two-legged stunts and prep level one-legged stunts. Basket tosses are also allowed, but only “straight rides” w...

This level is not as common as the others, but still a part of events like The Summit and D2 Summit. The stunting skills are the same as level 4 (see below) ...
On level 4, more and more spins and twists are allowed in stunts! Teams are also allowed to do up to 1 twist to extended one-legged stunts and 1 ½ twist to prep level one-legged stunts. We also start seeing more advanced inversions, such as handstands and back handspring ups. Two skills are allowed in basket tosses, like double twists and kick full...
Level 5, previously called “restricted 5”, is where twists in tumbling start to appear! For stunting, teams are allowed up to 1 ½ twist to extended two-legged stunts and 1 twist to extended one-legged stunts. Flyers are also allowed to do a double twist dismount from extended one-legged stunts. Up to three skills are allowed in baskets, except for ...
Now that we’re getting to level 6, it’s time to double the skills! Double-ups are allowed to both two-legged and one-legged stunts. Flyers can also double twist down from a stunt, where up to 2 ¼ twists are allowed. Up to three skills are allowed in basket tosses, like the kick doubles most teams perform. IASF rule: international level 6 teams are ...
