Compulsory Gymnastics:
In compulsory gymnastics every child in the same level does the exact same routine. This is done in gymnastics levels 1-5. USA gymnastics created the routines with the goal that the gymnasts have a strong gymnastics foundation before advancing to the optional levels.
Optional Gymnastics:
In optional gymnastics the the gymnasts will perform different routines. There are a set of guidelines, or level requirements and routines are built around them. Each gymnast will select her own music and choreography (on the Floor Exercise event). Her routines are designed to show off her strengths.
