    Women Move ups versus repeat?

    I recently joined an Xcel Silver Team, and I'm curious about what ny gym would look for to move me up or not. Our first meet is in December, and we have 6 meets with our last one in March. I believe you need a 30 AA score to move up, which would mean a 7.5 or higher on each event. My biggest...

    Women Projected xcel level?

    Update! I made Xcel Silver! They think I will have all my skills by our first meet, which is in December. We train 9 hours a week, which feels like a lot for Xcel Silver. I think I'll get in shape quickly because of that though.

    Gymnasts How to clean competition leotard?

    I just got accepted into an Xcel Silver Team, they are giving me my leotards tomorrow. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to clean the leotard though, I don't think I can just throw it the washer. Any advice on how to clean it?

    Gymnasts Leotard for team tryout?

    I own 3 leotards, one is plain blue, one is a leotard from my old gym, and the 3rd is the dark elegance from gk. I told my mom I wanted to wear the 3rd one, but she thinks I should wear the 1st one. My mom is a former ballet dancer, and they were strict about wearing plain outfis only. I'm not...

    Women Xcel Cons

    It is possible to go to college gymnastics with xcel. They would have to transfer to DP but they could probably get into decently high level. I've heard of people who go from Platinum to Level 7. If you are Diamond/Sapphire you could probably go to Level 9 or 10.

    Gymnasts Rhythmic Gymnastics instead of Artistic Gymnastics?

    I would like to continue artistic gymnastics recreationally, I was just wondering which one I should put my competive focus on.

    Gymnasts Rhythmic Gymnastics instead of Artistic Gymnastics?

    I am unfortunately not likely to get very far in artistic gymnastics, would it be better to switch? I did a practice class and I did okay, but it was entirely stretching, we did not practice any of the apparatuses. My biggest issue is flexibility. I'm considered flexible for artistic gymnastics...

    Gymnasts Best way to deal with fear and hesitation?

    I was just at practice yesterday and one of the biggest things I noticed was my hesitation. I would always stop a little which would kill any momentum I had built. Even for skills without momentum I would do this. What should I do to be more confident in my skills? I think my biggest fear is...

    Gymnasts Vault fhs help?

    Spring board might work, but I don't know if my coach would let me use it. I can do a handstand flatback onto a wedge.
