The USASF recently released the 2012-2013 rules. These rules are dated May 18, 2012 and are the first release of the 2012-2013 rules. Changes from the 2011-2012 rules are noted below:
For Youth L5 Only
- Tosses that involve more than 1 1/2 twist may not involve an additional skill (i.e. kick doubles are not allowed). Note – Youth L5 now follows Restricted L5 rules.
L5 Tumbling
- Tumbling skills involving flipping and twisting immediately into a double twisting tumbling skill are not allowed.
- Twisting skills immediately out of a double twisting tumbling skill are not allowed.
- In standing tumbling only, skills involving two twists (i.e. Double fulls) must be immediately preceded by a minimum of two backward traveling, non-twisting tumbling skills. One of these two skills must be a back handspring. (Jump skills are not considered tumbling skills. i.e. toe touch > back handspring > double full = illegal).
