    Parents How to help gymnastic with mental block?

    I have definitely been starting to stress too myself because I know she has been working so hard. I’ll try to step back and give her space thanks for the advice!

    Gymnasts going back after 4 years

    You could most likely do xcel platinum or possible level 6 if you want to go the usag route with the skills you currently have. Best bet would be to go to gyms and try out. Depending on their meet months you may have to wait until it’s not meet season to join since some gyms don’t take new kids...

    Parents How to help gymnastic with mental block?

    My daughter is 10 and got held back from level 6 due to mental blocks so she’s currently competing xcel gold to gain confidence back even though she tested out of level 5 and will be level 6 or even 7 next season(her gym does xcel instead of level 3-5). Anyways she is having blocks with back...

    Coaches Skipping levels in Xcel

    This is correct. My kid is doing 1 meet at gold and then moving to platinum if she gets the scores.

    Parents Importance of gym having higher level gymnasts

    if she has aspirations to be level 10 and they don’t have a solid program at current gym I would look elsewhere. My daughters old gym did levels 3-10 but we only had 4 girls in level 8-10(3 level 8 and one level 10). We had 37 in level 3, 30 in level 4, 8 in level 5, 19 in level 6 and 12 in...

    Parents What JO level would my daughter be?

    I’d say she would be a fit for level 3/4. I think she could probably do 4 if she works hard on bars skills that would be the only thing holding her back in level 4 since they need both low and high bar kips to be pretty solid.

    Parents XB to JO

    my kids current gym doesn’t even do levels 3-5. They do xcel bronze, silver and gold then they move straight to level 6(they do have to test out of 4 and 5 but they do this in house). Also 7 isn’t too young that’s crazy. My kid started at another gym at 7 and did level 3, then 2 years of level 4...

    Parents Should we switch gyms?

    Thanks for the reply, we actually found a gym that does xcel until level 6. She has been there for 2 months now and is doing so well and actual has improved a ton on her bars! They allowed her to test out of level 5 last week and she did get a 32 but has decided to give xcel gold a try this year...

    Parents Multiple repeat level 3s who train 16 hours per week

    That seems crazy. My daughter’s old gym only did 9 hours a week for level 3. The few years we were there only 3 girls got held back because they got below 34’s. Most of the girls scored in 37-38 range.

    Women Repeating

    My daughter repeated level 4 because of scoring low on bars and was so bored. This year she was suppose to do level 5 but just wasn’t into it since it’s not much different then 4 and she still struggles at bars plus her gym doesn’t really do upgrades at all just the same thing over and over. We...

    Women Phasing out compulsories?

    My daughters gym does xcel only instead of level 3-5 and you do have to test out of level 4/5 to get into level 6. They usually work on the 4/5 routines through the year and then do a in gym meet during summer to test out of both and move to 6. My daughter is in gold and is trying to test out of...

    Women Phasing out compulsories?

    My daughter used to attend a gym that did levels 3-5 and then went to optionals. She was struggling massively in level 4 because she is not strong at bar and had to compete 2 years at level 4 even though she was great at the other 3 events. They then wanted to hold her back another year due to...

    Parents Quitting due to bar skills?

    They told me regardless of her hitting the 32 to move up she won’t be allowed to do level 6 without a cast handstand and straight arm kip unfortunately(she totally could get 9.5 on beam,vault and floor currently but probably around a 6 on bars in level 5). But they did say she could do level 5...

    Parents Quitting due to bar skills?

    She is extremely strong(she’s built like Simone bulky muscles) she’s actually the most muscular on the team and works out everyday. The coaches think she’s got issues with timing because she keeps growing so that’s why she keeps going back. They said they suggest she working level 5/6 over...
