xcel bronze

Just curious and not for my child. When does the child's 5th bday need to be to compete in xcel bronze next season?

Our Bronze team is struggling on a leap combination. I know they can do step hops, but can those step hops be done in a passe position or does it have the be straight in front at horizontal?

My daughter joined an Xcel bronze team 2 years ago and competed this past year for the first time (did really well). They are wanting to keep in Xcel bronze for a third season due to her not having the skills to move to silver. The specific skills are all flexibility related - bridge kickover...

Hi everyone , I’m new to the forum. Hi there . I have a 6 year old daughter who will be trying out for Xcel bronze or silver . I’m a little confused between all the different groups. TAAF, USAG, and pre team. I’m not sure what to hope for. My daughter loves gymnastics she does private lessons...

My preteam gymnast is going to an open tryout for Xcel bronze at a different gym then she currently attends. This tryout consists of her attending the 3 hr Xcel bronze class and I am full of anxiety! She loves gymnastics, she has most of the Xcel skills if I'm not mistaken (except for backhip...

If your daughter did a season of Xcel bronze and then switched to JO what level did she go to? My daughter can do all the level 3 skills except for a front hip circle and round off backhandspring. She hasn't tried those skills yet. I have her going to a gym to be evaluated this week and I was...

Hi my daughter just started on the Xcel Bronze team and she’s 6 years old. When I expressed interest to the Coaches that my daughter wanted to be on the preteam I really only inquired about the Xcel team. I did some reading and research on here and given that my daughter is 6 and still likes to...

My daughter was an Xcel Bronze last year and she was winning all her competitions. This year her coach told us that she could skip Sliver and go straight to Gold since she meets all the requirements, but Gold has more training hours (the normal training hours plus one extra day with the other...

I guess xcel isn't more intense than I thought. My daughter was put on xcel bronze in May and was just asked to leave this week, not for behavior, not for lack of working hard but because they believe she will be lacking the skills needed to compete all 4 events by January. (She can't really do...

We recently completed our state meet and several of our girls had a 9.0 start value on floor. We were told that their dance series did not meet requirements, which I am sure is the case. Some of our girls competed a chasse’, split leap (leaps met angle requirement), followed by a straight jump...

Sorry if this has been discussed already. I did a few searches but didn't find our situation or the posts were very old. DD was invited to join JO level 3 last year but chose to do Xcel bronze instead. She has been in gymnastics since she was 2 but really fell in love with it this season. She...

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 ?

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...

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...
