gold

My daughter completes xcel gold...the last 2 meets she has received a 9.5 start value. Her cast seems above horizontal (slightly pikey- but still above horizontal) . Her tap swings could be a little higher. She does a tap swing half turn (L4) dismount. Is there any way that they are not...

I have been falling when doing the punch front dismount off beam. I noticed a few other people doing round-off"s and since I have a meet in just two short days, was wondering if there is a deduction for competing a round-off as a dismount for Xcel gold. Thanks!

Hi. I have been wondering this for a long time..... My daughter competes Xcel Gold this year, and as I watch gymnasts throw big skilled routines and earn 9.2s, I see them get beat by gymnasts doing the minimum, easiest skills allowed, earning 9.3 and winning. How is it that kids who compete...

I recently had a meet in xcel gold and I scored my lowest AA score In my life! I think it was close to a 35.00. Anyway I was wondering what AA score you needed to go to state. and if the AA Score that gets you into state can only be reached at the first meet or throughout the season? Thanks!

My 7 year old daughter is competing bronze this year. She is doing very well so far but it's very early in the season. Competitions do not start until November. My daughter is hoping that after this year she will move to silver. She has some higher skills than bronze already but they are still...

I know there are some threads that have this info, but when I do a search I can't find the one I'm looking for. Can someone tell me what skills are: a) required for Xcel gold b) usually used in Xcel gold c) preferred in Xcel gold? Thank you so much to anyone who can spell it out for me!

My question pertains to both beam and floor for levels 6, 7 and Xcel Gold. I am having some trouble interpreting the cheat sheet charts. I would like to know if there is a deduction for not connecting jumps on beam. Also for floor level 6/7 it says indirect connection is OK for leap/jump series...

I was chatting with som e moms at the gym and they were talking about 2/10th added for certain bonus skills. I never heard of this for Gold. True or what could they be talking about?

My DD just completed the first half of her season as a level 5, and will finish the remainder of the season as an Xcel Gold. She just learned her choreography this week, and her dance pass is split leap, split leap. I have looked at the requirements for an Xcel Gold floor routine, and the way...

Hello. I'm new this season to Xcel. I have a gymnast that is gold. Her tumbling is a big struggle for her. Her first pass is a ROBHS. My hang up is her 2nd pass. Her front handspring is very weak so a front tumble pass is kinda out till we fix it. She doesn't have an aerial, and her front salto...

Since I'm still fairly new to all this, I'd appreciate any opinions! We had a meeting tonight and HC is having the new girls on the team do Xcel gold then eventually score out of 4/5 then go to either 6 or 7. Is this common? DD did two meets at level 3 while on the pre-team this spring and now...

Woohoo well done England , especially kristian my local lad and well done Scotland !! Woohoo team GB

Hello everyone! My son and I will be moving back to the Gold Coast from Canada in about 6 months time. He used to do recreational in both Superperformance Center and Gold Coast Gymnastics, and when we moved to Canada last year he was invited to join the PreCompetitive Team. Now that we are...

I recently competed last week and my coaches decided to change my bar routine a bit. I was wondering if this is enough for xcel gold because it is really short. So it's pullover (hopefully a kip I am so close I think I will be able to get it by the 25th -my next meet), back hip circle, squat on...

Does anyone know what the qualifications have to be for Excel Gold Regionals? Is it the top 3 that go or is it a score you need to attain?

And I say HA only because she wasn't going to compete tramp this year, but had a change of heart. Last year she was consistently middle to bottom of the pack. Last qualifier she was 3rd and this time she won! Happy shocker! She also placed 3rd on Double mini, which was the opposite kind of...

Hi, I had a quick question that I am hoping you can answer for us. We have had several issues at our gym with girls doing skills that are above level and getting deductions for them and I wanted to make sure this is not happening to my daughter. She is in Excel (Prep Opt) Gold --Region...

Does anybody know if there will be a mobility score to move from Xcel Gold to the new level 6 next year? If so, what is that score?

Hello, Thanks for your expertise and time in responding to these questions. Our daughter is competing at the Prep Opt./Excel Gold level and we have some concerns that some of the skills she is doing are not allowed and she might be getting points deducted. This has happened several times with...
