New York State Level 4 Team Cup Program
Level 4 is a
developmental level. In New York State, it is a competitive
achievement-oriented program. On the local and Invitational
Competitions the Meet Director determines how the Level 4 competition will be
run. The Meet Directors will determine what type and how the achievement awards
(or any other type of award) will be given. The culminating competition
is the New York State Team Cup. There are two Team Cups; an Upstate and
Downstate Team Cup Competition. The Team Cup is exactly that, a Team Competition
with NO INDIVIDUAL EVENTS NOR ALL AROUND AWARDS. Every athlete receives a trophy
for participating with their "team" in this "Team Competition". The only awards
that are given out are Team Placements.
The Level 4 season can begin as early as October and the Team Cup is held in
June.

Because Level 4 is an Achievement Award Level, age divisions do
not have to be used. The gymnasts are grouped by team and compete together in
the same squad. This makes their experience a positive one.
