    Men Blackjack Meet Question/JO Nationals - true Capital Cup

    Does anyone know if the Blackjack Meet is a Capital Cup format? What about JO Nationals? Just wondering as there was talk at our gym that the Blackjack was a good meet to experience Capital Cup format before Nationals. Trying to verify if that is true. Thanks!

    Women JO Nationals- 2015

    The USAG meeting minutes published had the proposed changes of increasing L9 competitors from 6 to 7 in each age group and changing L10 to 12 age groups to replace NIT. It said it was pending based on funding. The 2014 R&P still has the old numbers and format. Does anyone know if this means...

    JO or Xcel?

    Should I do JO or Xcel? I am a 15 year old gymnast equivalent to JO level 4. But I do not like doing the same routine as everyone else. I would rather make up my own. But, I am scared of the necessary skills for JO optionals. I also don't want the hours I need to commit for JO. But I like the...

    Parents Advice: considering leaving JO program for Xcel

    My daughter is 6 years old, only been doing gymnastics for 2 years and currently training for Level 2 comp season in the JO program. She learns very fast, and was very successful competing the new Level 1 for 2013-2014 season, with first All-around at every comp including the State...

    Women typical ages at different JO levels

    I'm pretty new to this whole gymnastics scene, so I'm hoping to gain some generalities regarding my daughter's trajectory within the sport. I know as parents, we all want to believe our kids are exceptional (and they are of course), but I guess I'm trying to figure out if mine is exceptional at...

    Women Canadian competing JO!

    My province is switching to the JO system next competition as opposed to CPP. My current coach is pretty clueless about the requirements, but thinks that I would compete either level 7 or 8 since I was going to compete P4 this coming winter. What are the requirements for these two levels, and...

    Women Training TOPs/Hopes/PreElite and JO

    My daughter is very interested in training the elite route and doesn't really care about JO. Right now she is training both, and it is hard for me to understand the benefit of training both at the same time. She will be competing in the spring and learning JO routines. Would it be beneficial...

    Women JO Changes - meeting minutes published.

    I just saw that the meeting minutes are on the USAG site. As mentioned earlier on another thread, They have added 4 age divisions to L10 Championships and there will no longer be a NIT. It does state that it is pending funding. They also voted to increase the L9 from top 6 to top 7 in each...

    Women Jo verses excel

    My DD loves Gymnastics and would like to do college gymnastics someday. Our gym is pushing excel program and is doing very little JO over the past year. I see many gyms are doing this. My question is is their a bad or good path to college? Does it matter if she goes JO or excel ? I have done...

    Women Switching fm Xcel to JO. How does the judging/scoring differ?

    Dd was in Xcel as of last season and will now be on the JO side of the house. I really didn't know what Xcel was and kinda had to learn along the way (we came from R5 and dd's old gym doesn't do Xcel). She competed Silver this season. And I found out Wednesday that she'll be scoring out of 4...

    Parents Social Groups "New L4/5…" vs. "JO Compulsory..."

    Hiya- So, Im confused about the difference between these two groups. I see the New L4/5 says its for parents AND gymnasts and that JO Compulsory is just parents. Aside from that, how do I differentiate the two, please? Thanks!

    Women JO Nationals Region Results

    Just wondering - Do they come up with an overall Region Winner for JO Nationals? I see that Region 5 won 4 of the 8 age groups, Region 7 won 3, and Region 1 won 1, but I didn't see an overall winner. It also looks like R5 is in great shape for the future as they won 4 of the 5 youngest age groups.

    Women Live Results for JO Nationals?

    Does anyone know where they're posted? I've looked on the USAG website and meetscoresonline.com, but meetscoresonline still says "awaiting scores."

    Women JO National Team Question

    I've done a search and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Some of the girls from our gym are competing at the JO LV 10 nationals this weekend, and I noticed that the top scoring girls will be named to the national team. How is that team different from the USAG elite national team? Do they...

    Potential Changes CPP to JO

    Not sure very many of you here are in the CPP program anyways (I believe most do CPN or NN), but just wanted to say that I received an email with a survey about what I think about switching from CPP to JO. It is being discussed in many provinces and they are hoping to have a nation wide program...

    Women difference in scoring b/t NCAA and JO?

    watching the NCAA Championship online. Having seen many college meets, I know there a difference in deductions given in NCAA vs level 10. In general, what are they? Also wondering if there is a general guideline. Can an incoming college gymnast expect to increase her L10 score by a certain...

    I'm curious to know what's most common as far as the times of day kids are practicing. At our gym, Xcel and Rec. are what mainly constitute the 3:00-6:00PM hours and the JO girls mainly train during the 6:00-9:00PM time frames. *You can select more than one reply if you're a parent to more...

    Parents Xcel vs JO ( separation)

    Disclaimer, this ismlong has some backstory where I speak in old level numbers. My dd did JO up thru old level 4. Then our gym decided to beef up their Xcel program. At the time ( it was late spring) they said she could either compete level 4 again but she would not move up to Level 5 because...

    Parents help deciding between JO and X-cell

    Our gym has a seprerate JO and X-cell track. The girls are able to tryout for x-cell each spring. The JO kids are usually picked from the preschool classes, start preteam at around 5, and then move to L4. There is almost no movement between X-cell to JO. Some of the JO girls decide they don't...
