    Women National Xcelebration coming in 2027

    It will probably be held in different locations every year, just like DP Nationals.

    Women National Xcelebration coming in 2027

    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. 😂

    Women Average age per level?

    Our level 10s range from 10 years to 18. We have 1 7 yr old training 6/7 this summer. Most of the girls training level 6 are about 10-13. Our lower Xcel levels (below platinum) are ages 5-13.

    Women Region 8 Gear

    you mean Region 8 regionals? They don't usually sell regional gear. At the Xcel regional in Georgia, they had limited leotards, but that's it.

    Coaches Help understanding scoring in junior elite floor routine

    I read that the FIG Code was being updated to reflect greater weight given to artistry this cycle than there has been in the past. This was to appease other countries who have been saying that the US keeps winning because they are more powerful and aren't showing as much artistry as they should...

    Women Rule change possible reason- xcel nationals?

    I understand it's been discussed, but as of right now, the Xcel Nationals is still an invitational. And I think you're right that it will only be the higher Xcel levels.

    I will make my coach disappear! 😂 (My daughter did this today; so funny!)

    Women Rule change possible reason- xcel nationals?

    There is no USAG sponsored Xcel Nationals. The meet I think you're referring to is an invitational.
