The USAG's - New York State Woman's Junior Olympic Program is divided into three major segments.

• Segment One: Developmental Levels 1 - 4 may be used as a non-competitive and achievement-oriented program for use within a gym's pre-team program, or they may be used as an introductory/recreational competitive program. States may also off State Championships for these levels.   .
• Segment Two: Compulsory Levels 5 and 6. Both of these levels are progressive in nature, building upon the skills required in the previous level. Competitive opportunities are provided up to and including USA Gymnastics State Championship.
• Segment Three: Optional Levels 7-8-9-10. Levels 7 and 8 have difficulty restrictions, while Levels 9 and 10 have no restrictions in the skill choice. Composition is evaluated at all Optional Levels, except Level 7.
  Level 7 has competitive opportunities up to and including State Championships.
  Additional competitive opportunities are provided for Levels 8-10, with the Level 10 competitive season culminating at the Jr. Olympic National Championships, Level 9 at the Eastern Western Championships and Level 8 at the Regional Championships.

Junior Olympic competitions are conducted throughout the United States and are organized by the USA Gymnastics State and Regional Administrative Committees. Each state has the jurisdiction to determine its state calendar, according to the needs of its members.

A Jr. Olympic Competitive year is defined as the period from August 1 through July 31.
A Competitive Season is defined as that period from the first designated qualifying competition through the culminating Championships at each level.
