xcel

For Xcel silver floor, it seems like an aerial can be used to satisfy the flight skill pass. I am wondering whether it matters how the gymnast enters into the aerial. For example, does it matter if they have a running start, a short hurdle, or do a standing aerial? Does the entry into the aerial...

Not even sure what I am looking for with this post, but after watching my 9-year old daughter work her tail off to score out of levels 4 and 5, she is back to Xcel. She spent most of the summer training with her new team (combined level 5/6) and she was MISERABLE. The coaches were so nice, very...

I don‘t know maybe I’m overreacting or being picky or something, but my new gym treats xcel as a real team for the most part, decent hours, real conditioning, quality coaches, decent meets, pretty competition Leos, but the jackets, are a black, white, and HOT pink ombré, while last years Leos...

Is this possible?

Is the value of a sole circle on bars in Xcel an A (like in JO/DP) or is it moved up to a B?

In xcel gold, do all my casts have to be above horizontal on bars or can just one. I have to bend my arms to cast high enough and would like to only do that once and then have small straight arm casts.

I know every gym is different, but in your experience, what are the costs for your daughter to be part of an Xcel team for the year? If you could list each expense and how much $ for each that would be much appreciated! Also what area you are from, however specific you are comfortable with.

Is a kip required for bars in Xcel Gold? Does a ROBHS count in Gold as a connecting acre skill?

At my gym, I am the only girl competing in my age division for states. Many of my other teammates are competing with others in their age group and others are also competing alone. I am nervous because I never compete alone. If you guys have any tips to stay calm/compete alone?\ I would really...

Do you feel that there is a big jump in scoring requirements from xcel gold to xcel platinum? If one struggled with the jump from silver to gold but then scored well when repeating gold, would you expect a similar struggle when moving from gold to platinum?

Hi, I am an xcel gold gymnast trying to become a platinum next year and I am trying to find beam connections to try and compete or more acros I could try to get Acros I have competed/done or close to competing - handstand (not vertical) - forward roll landing in a sitting pose (fall on it half...

I have a question about DP verses xcel scoring. Say a child has an xcel gold routine that is equivalent in skills to a DP level 6 routine. If the child gets a 9.5 on the xcel routine, what would be an equivalent score if the child was in the DP program? I guess I would like to know how much of a...

Floor- round off back handspring, Round off double back handspring (I can do it on tumble track. I used to do it on the floor a lot but lost my RO BHS completely. I got my RO BHS back about a few weeks ago. So I am working on RO BHS BHS so I can start working on back tucks again ), Front...

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

Hi. I am a Xcel silver gymnast. I just moved up from bronze in January, but I might move to gold next year. My gym is going to an unsanctioned meet on may 7 and we have a chance at competing at a higher level. I know I need my back tuck on floor, but I don’t know what other skills I need. Here...

Would it be weird to be 26 years old and competing in excel, is there a way for adults to do gymnastics and compete!

I have an 11-year-old daughter who just completed her first season as an Excel platinum. We currently live in Illinois. She did compete JO level 4 and made it to state the year that she did. Last year she was a gold, and this year she competed as a platinum. We currently live in the Chicago...

Just a question, is XCEL Sapphire going nationwide next year or will it still be limited to certain regions? We are region 2 and my daughter is just missing a few skills to make sapphire. Summer upgrades are planned, but routine construction will be based upon either Diamond or Sapphire (if its...
