Hi there. My daughter is an Xcel Gold gymnast (14 yrs old) who is looking to move up to platinum this season. She has almost every requirement she needs except a front salto pass on floor. However, one of her coaches is requiring that the current XG girls have a bhs on beam to move up to platinum. She has a cartwheel cartwheel that she could use instead of a flight skill but coach wants flight. Most of the xg girls on the team are 13-16, and according to DD, none are close to bhs on the high beam with no mats or spot. Is this a normal requirement for XP? Should we talk to the coach?
Thank you!
 
Different gyms have different requirements. We don't even require it for diamond - a lot of ours do a round off or dive cartwheel for flight. But each gym can make its own individual policies.
 
This is not a requirement at dd's gym even for diamond. Most platinums at her gym do roundoff or cartwheel/cartwheel. But, like the previous poster said, gyms can have their own set of requirements.
