    WAG Tour jeté skill value in DP?

    This is for USAG DP level 9, Is a tour jeté on floor a B or a C? My daughter claims her coach is saying its worth the same as a switch-half (which I'm almost positivie is a C?), but that doesn't sound right to me. Not that it really matters, since she can't really do a switch-half yet, and its...

    WAG Beam Mount Question DP level 6

    Weird question: Can a back extension roll be used as a beam mount? The gymnast would stand on the floor, back to the beam, and then do a back extension roll to handstand and then lay their stomach on the beam to get to front support on the beam. The reason I ask is one of my gymnasts wants it...

    Anon Xcel verses DP scoring

    I have a question about DP verses xcel scoring. Say a child has an xcel gold routine that is equivalent in skills to a DP level 6 routine. If the child gets a 9.5 on the xcel routine, what would be an equivalent score if the child was in the DP program? I guess I would like to know how much of a...

    WAG Moving from Xcel to DP

    My daughter has been interested in doing DP for a very long time. She is by far the hardest worker and all of her current and past coaches has acknowledged that. In June 2022 she tried out for a DP team at another gym but ended up not doing it due to concerns there. We needed to move gyms...

    Parents Mobility question from Xcel to DP?

    Hello! How do you move from Xcel Gold to level 6? Do you have to compete a meet at level 4 and 5 and score high enough to move to 6, or do you just need to do a meet at level 5? I wasn't sure how it worked since gold is pretty equivalent to level 4. Thanks!

    Parents USAG Rules on moving from Xcel to DP Chapter 8

    My daughter competed Xcel Bronze last year and is now moving to the DP Level 3. The coach wants her at L3 even though she has every L3 skill and basically most L4 (she even has her Kip). My DD is 10 and she would prefer to be with kids her age and her skill level. I was reading the rules of...

    Anon Xcel verses DP coaches choice

    How do coaches make the decision for a athlete to do DP versus Xcel? Is it always based on talent? If a coach has the option to place an athlete in either program, is xcel always for the less talented gymnasts? Obviously some girls want lesser hours, but what if hours didn’t play into it as this...

    Anon Moving from Xcel to DP at an older age

    “I am going to be a freshman in high school next year and I am currently competing Xcel Gold. I have the ability to compete Platinum but my gym only lets you do one level per year. I place in the top 3 at meets for all around almost every time. I get skills way quicker than my teammates and I...
