    Parents Any words of wisdom? XCEL Gold to Level 4

    My daughter competed L4 last year and had 2 girls on her team that had moved from Xcel Silver that did well. Another girl tried to move over but didn't like it, so she competed Xcel Gold and I believe is planning to switch to L4 this year instead. I think the advice you've gotten is spot on as...

    T&T Is there a website that tracks scores for T&T

    Bump - any chance this has changed in the last few years?? Is there a website for T&T scores like MyMeetScores or MyUSAG?

    Parents T&T

    Thanks! I actually just talked to her coaches yesterday, and they said she'll be competing L5-L6 this year. She's a very strong tumbler and can complete the L6 tumbling routines, although she still has some work to polish them. She's still getting used to the trampoline and double mini, and...

    Parents T&T

    Any tips for the transition? She competed L4 in WAG last year, and as far as I can tell she'll compete L4-6 in T&T.

    Parents Training Hours

    Ours varied by level, not so much age. USAG DP L2=7hrs, L3=10hrs, L4=12hrs, L5=15hrs, L6-7=18hrs, L8-10=20hrs USAG Xcel practices fewer hours, but I don't know their schedules.

    Parents T&T

    Are there other T&T parents here? I see a WAG-focused forum, but no T&T. My daughter just made the switch from WAG to T&T, and I have a lot to learn!

    Parents How many meets do you compete annually (and what organization/level)?

    Pre-team (L1) does 2 in-house mock meets, L2 does 7 USAG meets, L3 does 8-9 USAG meets (one travel meet is often optional).

    Women What are considered normal physical testing / conditioning requirements?

    Our gym requires gymnasts to meet a certain amount of flexibility and strength goals before they advance to the next level each season, but if they move they compete.

    Parents Regulations for cheering parents?

    Our state meet was held in a city that also has a large gym. Those family members cheered SO loudly for every girl on the team after every event, and it was really a distraction for some of our girls.

    Women Most number of 10s in a season

    Going to need to update my list, because my daughter just got her 3rd 10!

    Women Competing at lower levels

    No, typically our girls will compete 5 but skip L6. ‍♀️ Our pre-team does L1, then we compete L2 and up. Our girls go into a L3 season with solid L3 skills (able to score 9 and up) most meets, but most don't have solid L4 skills until near the end of L3. My L3 daughter probably has all of her L4...

    Women Most number of 10s in a season

    Writing a web scraper for gymnastics meet scores is totally normal, right? :D

    Women Competing at lower levels

    During the meet season, our girls may work on some skills from the next level, but primarily they work on perfecting skills from the current level. For example, our L3s will sometimes, but not every practice, work on their kips on bars, double BHS on floor, and cartwheel on beam.

    Anon How often do your share your child’s accomplishments on your own social media

    Every meet, good or bad. I have a lot of family who live far away, and they really enjoy seeing videos and pictures of her. Plus, I'm super proud.
