    Parents L7 Floor Requirements

    There is no front series requirement for level 7 floor. Just a single front acro is all that is required. All splits and leaps must hit 180 degrees to not get any deductions. Splits/straddle jumps, etc., below the requirement will incur up to a -.2 deduction.

    Women Leotards

    We have had GK, Alpha Factor, and Ozone. While the most beautiful leotards have been from Ozone, the quality is not good. Stones fall off and seams rip, especially the mesh. They are also cut much smaller than other brands, meaning 14 year olds are having to order Adult Extra Large (which is...

    It's going to be the Xcel version of a National Championship sponsored by USAG. So yes, I believe it will be competitive appropriately for the levels involved.

    Women Yurkchanco Vault Xcel Diamond

    Why would they go to a mat stack? Yurchenko vaults are supposed to land on the feet. Yurchenko timers go to mat stacks.

    Coaches vault

    Xcel is a different path than DP. The timer vaults are designed for levels 6/7 to get ready for flipping vaults in level 8. Xcel at this time is not designed the same way. Gold and Platinum are not the same as level 6 and 7.

    Women C Dance elements?

    You do not score higher by doing "harder" skills. There is no bonus in Xcel except for Sapphire. You will only score higher if you compete cleaner than everyone else.

    Parents What brand of leo is this?

    I always found the reversible thing weird and a little unsanitary. I know in our gym, the coach had to make a rule that they weren't allowed to go to the bathroom and reverse them halfway through practice. 😂
