Is there something like being an event specialist in xcel? If so, how does it work? How does a gymnast practice with the others that do all around?
 
It is totally possible to be an event specialist in xcel! You would have to talk to the coach and see if they allow it though. On the events that you don't you don't do you could do: homework, help out with moving mats, set up the bars/vault, play floor music etc. Assuming you're a specialist because of injury you could physical therapy on the events you don't do. You can still make it to States and regional too!

I just wanted to add that, depending on the reasons for specializing, you can still train the event(s) that you aren’t competing. If you’re specializing because it is a weaker event, then if you continue to train that event, you may get to a point during season or in a future season where you would be able to compete it again. Also, it would depend on your coaches, but sometimes you can do extra on the events that you are competing during the time that the rest of the team is on the event that you don’t do. For example, while I was injured and couldn’t vault, I would do strap bar while the rest of my team was vaulting.
