bronze

DD7 might be able to try out for her gym's JO3 team in May; she is now finishing her first season of Xcel Bronze. I'd love to hear from coaches or parents who have seen girls make this transition. What are the biggest hurdles? Bars, I'd guess? Anything she could do at home to improve her...

Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a first year Xcel bronze kid. She attended a couple meets recently and was in different divisions in both of them. How are these divisions decided ?

Is the underswing dismount (current level 3 dismount) still acceptable for bronze? Im confused about this based off of what I'm reading in the code of points book and a handout I received at a recent training. Also, if still acceptable, does it have the same value as cast off to stand?

Ok I was reading the floor routine requirements and it says 2 tumbling passes, 1 that has 2 connecting skills and the other a single... Is that still the case case because our routine only has one tumble pass.... Unless a handstand counts as the 2nd tumble pass but I wouldn't think so. They do...

what are typical xcel bronze training hours. We opted for xcel due to reduced hours and dds other varied interests. The new schedule has her group training two 3hr sessions, side by side with xcel silver. Also they train until 8:30pm and her bedtime is 8 (she just turned 8 and will be in third...

My daughter who turns 7 this month is in a JO Preteam class (6 hours a week) that she loves. She started in June after a year in an advanced preschool class at the same gym. She is happy there, and if she progressed as expected, would switch to Level 3 in May and compete next August. It is a...

hi all my daughter is starting excel bronze team she is practicing one per week for 3 hours I don’t k ow ifthat is enough time, I’d like to have more days even if the amount of hours are the same because this gym doesn’t want her to practice at home so i think only once a week is difficult to...

Trifecta complete! Puma Jr is USAIGC 11 yr old Bronze Uneven Bars State, Regional and World Champ! (This is the part where I say yes I know USAIGC isn’t as competitive as JO and yes it’s a little crazy it’s called “Worlds” lol...but I’m still super happy for her! )She also is 2nd on beam. Who...

Can someone tell me what the biggest difference in skills are in tgeth 2 levels? My DD just completed her first year competing but did level 1. Our gym is going to just go only excel route now so trying to decide which is best for her bronze or silver. Our hc I think basically leaving it up to...

My daughter is 7 and has spent almost 2 years on two different pre team levels. She recently had testing and was invited to join the competitive Xcel program. I do not know much about this, but I was wondering why the Xcel and not levels 1 or 2? Was she not good enough for those levels? I’ve...

My seven year old did preschool gymnastics, took a year off because of bars fear and started tumbling last year, in October she tried gymnastics again. She started in a beginner class and right when she was about to move to intermediate she was offered team for bronze. She wanted to do it so...

Long time no chat CB! I've been busy with work and out of the country! After I returned I realized my teammates signed me up for a meet (xcel Bronze) in January. As an out of shape 31 year old I'm worried I won't have all the skills clean in a month. For beam it states "One non-flight acro...

Hi all, I am hoping to help a good friend with a decision. Disclaimer: This is a question for a friend who does not live in the same region, I think they are region 3 but not sure. Here is a little background first. My friends dd is a year older than mine, almost to the day, so she just...

My DD just competed her first season Xcel Bronze. She did very well. She now wants to jump over Level 3 and go to Level 4. I think that she has the skills needed but am wondering if this would be a good move or not. Does she need to spend a season learning more about form and precise moves on...

I have a kid with some major fear and confidence issues. She has been competing a lever so far this year and scoring relatively well. She has been working really hard on her handstand but it's still not quite there, but she really wants to compete it this weekend. She gets her top leg to almost...

So, with 44 judges (throwing out the high and low scores), this Xcel Bronze Routine scored an 8.275. Granted, the judges have NEVER seen Xcel Bronze before… AND they were all between the ages of 7 and 17…AND many of them are in Level 3 or Level 4, so have never dealt with Start Values before...

are gymnastics in usaigc bronze allowed to do the USA level 3/4/5 handstand 1/4 twist dismount ? Is that considered an A dismount? Thanks

We're headed that way in a couple of weeks and it is the first time we have ever been. I'm wondering whether it will be very high level gymnastics, or whether there is a wide range of gymnasts from different clubs that enter? And basically just being nosey if anyone has any comments on it.

Can someone please let me know what are the requirements for a Bronze Level Floor Routine? My daughter did excellent last year competing but with this floor routine she doenst have a a shot she can do the tumbling passes it just looks very sloppy and effortless. The coaches didnt spend the...
