platinum

Not ready to spill details but we may need a gym change. Suffice to say there have been changes that don’t work for us at this time. My kid is a L8/9. She will be a senior next year. Had her coaching situation been different this year, she likely could have competed 9. What’s done is done. She...

Hey! Where can I find requirements for all events for xcel Platinum and xcel gold? Also- can you compete platinum/gymnastics without BWOs and FWOs? I used to have beautiful ones but my back got injured and simply cannot handle them..

Hi parents -- Looking for seasoned guidance on anyone who has moved from Gold to L6 or Platinum to L7. Our 9-year old Gold is being moved up when meet season concludes, and our coaches have been honest and told us that they are on the fence between Platinum and L6. While it's not up to us, I...

I am currently a 14yo Xcel Gold. I will turn 15 in a few months. I deal with some chronic illnesses, one of those being Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which does cause frequent injuries. I am faced with the dilemma for next season. Realistically, I could probably go Platinum next season... beam might...

Hi there. My daughter is an Xcel Gold gymnast (14 yrs old) who is looking to move up to platinum this season. She has almost every requirement she needs except a front salto pass on floor. However, one of her coaches is requiring that the current XG girls have a bhs on beam to move up to...

Hi all! I was wondering if a handstand handstand on beam would be considered a valid connection on beam!

Can a front layout be in a floor routine at Platinum level?

What are some ideas for easy or easier platinum floor routines with a 10.0 start value?

My daughter is wondering what level (xcel) routine this would be: tuck jump without hands mount full turn cartwheel, cartwheel split jump, 3/4 turn jump back walkover barani dismount TIA!

Hi everyone, There are a couple current xcel gold gymnasts who I want to move to platinum for next season. One of my girls is super nervous about moving up because she doesn't feel prepared on bars. I'm looking to find some feasible routine ideas for her. On bars, she currently competes...

Hi, I know the flyaway is the most common platinum bar dismount, but what other dismounts are ok at this level? Thank you!

Hi fellow coaches, this is my first full year coaching Xcel and I have some questions about teaching twisting vaults for Xcel Platinum and Diamond. The other coaches at my gym don't have experience coaching these vaults either, so I've come here looking for some more information at the very...

Dd18 (yes, turned 18 last month!) asked me to share this video in hopes you would critique and perhaps guess a score for her. She says thank you in advance!

Hi. I am a two year level five gymnast and i have been wanting to tryout for xcel because i’m 14 and tired of JO. I was wondering what level I would be. Something to consider is i have a very bad back and can’t do bwo or fwo’s anymore. I have been practing round offs on beam but they are not...

I am an adult competitive gymnast competing xcel platinum. Normally I compete BWO-BWO, but my lower back has been having some issues. I tried switching to HS-BWO but I am very inconsistent landing the HS square enough to connect (don't even get me started on cartwheels). I was wondering, could I...

We are debating a whether or not to have my daughter compete Xcel Platinum vs. a second season of JO Level 6 (or maybe 7, but unlikely at this point). Does anyone know if there is a minimum height requirement for the vault table for Xcel Platinum? She likes to vault on a low setting. I don't...

Hi, I am hoping to compete platinum next season, but I'm not sure what to do for vault. I can do a front handspring but it's not that great. Any suggestions of other vaults with a 10.0 start value for platinum?
