We have now touched on Level 1 and Level 2 tumbling.
Like Level 2, in level 3 you can do all the tumbling that was permitted in the previous levels.
Level 3 shows the addition of...
Front Tuck

Side Aerial

Unlike Level 2, in level 3 you are permitted to do several connected back handspring from a standing position. You may also perform a back tuck after a round off or a round off back handspring. However, you are not permitted to do a back tuck from a standing position or a standing back handspring back tuck.
Like the other levels, level 3 tumbling skills have several variations.
LEVEL 3 STANDING TUMBLING
A. Flips are not allowed.
B. Series front and back handsprings are allowed.
C. Airborne skills must involve hand support with at least one hand when passing through the
inverted position.
D. No twisting while airborne (Exception: round offs)
LEVEL 3 RUNNING TUMBLING
A. Flips:
1. Flips may ONLY be performed in tuck position only from a round off or round off back
handspring(s). (Exception: aerial cartwheels, running tuck fronts, and ¾ front flips are
allowed). The following tumbling skills are examples of skills not allowed: X-outs, layouts,
layout step outs, whips, pikes, aerial walkovers, and arabians.
2. Other skills with hand support prior to the round off or round off back handspring are
allowed. Example: front handsprings and front walkover through to round off back
handspring back tucks
3. Cartwheel tucked flips are not allowed.
B. No tumbling is allowed after a flip or an aerial cartwheel. (Exception: a forward or backward
roll is allowed after a tuck flip; however, no tumbling is allowed after the roll.)
C. No twisting while airborne. (Exception: round offs)
