    Parents Booster Club Distribution Opt-Out?

    That is my understanding of how it works from being in a booster club for many years.

    Anon Clarification regarding gymnastics track

    Their routines/skills for platinum and L6 are probably very similar. I don't know the rules for 6 but I'm guessing the routines could just be modified a little to work.

    Anon Clarification regarding gymnastics track

    The chart and rules are on pages 80 and 81 of this pdf on the usag website. She can transition to L7 by either scoring a 32AA at one L5 or L6 meet or by petitioning in since she is 12 or older. https://static.usagym.org/PDFs/Women/Rules/Rules%20and%20Policies/2023/rulespolicies.pdf

    Parents Low to high score progression

    Out of curiosity, I just checked previous meet scores and 2 of the girls that were with my kid in level 4 did not score 36 twice and are now multi year level 10s scoring from 35s to 37s. (There may have been others that did not score the 36 twice. I only checked the ones still competing.) I...

    Gymnasts Upgrades after Platinum season?

    I think that this is the most recent vault chart for Xcel but you can check with your coaches. If you are going to stay platinum, try upgrading to a vault that starts at a 10.0 because a 1/2 on 1/2 off is a 9.9 start value. There are some vaults allowed in diamond that are not allowed in...

    Parents Last meet as a senior

    Talk to her coach or check the state meet website. They might do something special for seniors at the meet. Whatever you do, don't contact the meet host directly about it. At our state meet, they have the seniors fill out a form at least a week or more before the meet. During the awards...

    WAG 8 Weeks to Cast Handstand?

    Honestly, that seems ridiculous to force them to get the skill to move up when meet season doesn't start until December. At both gyms my kid went to, they uptrained for the next level after states until July/August when they were told their new level. Our first meet was usually Nov/Dec. That...

    WAG 8 Weeks to Cast Handstand?

    When does meet season start for the girls moving up to level 6?

    WAG 8 Weeks to Cast Handstand?

    Could she move to platinum instead of 6 if she doesn't get the skill? That is definitely frustrating because there is no usag requirement for level 6. At both of dd's gyms, that was one requirement for moving to 7, not 6.

    Coaches What are the steps to

    Before adding any new classes, I would ask a coach or the gym owner how it works at your particular gym. Every gym handles it differently.

    Parents new to forum.. how to buy gymnastics bar and beam combo

    There is a Buy Nothing facebook group where I live. It's great! I was able to give away a couch and other random things. People post all kinds of stuff to give away like clothes, toys, household items. You can even ask for something that you need.

    Parents Competition season timing?

    In my state, meet season is the same for compulsory and optionals. Meets start around Nov/Dec and states in March - May.

    NCAA Xcel to college bound (Division 3)

    A lot of teams post videos on social media so you might want to follow some DIII gymnastic teams for colleges that you might consider going to. Then you can see what skills they are probably looking for. I'm not sure if there is college recruiting with Xcel gymnasts. Maybe someone else can give...
