    WAG Xcel Platinum Tumbling

    My goal is to move to Xcel Platinum (after 3 years of Gold) next year, and I've looked over the requirements a lot. I'm confident that I understand all of them except for the floor requirements. I know you need a switch leap and obviously a turn, but for tumbling, what I'm reading says you only...

    WAG Level 6 JO = xcel platinum?

    I am asking this for a friend. Her daughter has done two years as a level six. Done fairly well, has some upgraded skills, would say she is in the middle skillwise. The child would like to do less practice time now that high school has hit, and is lucky the gym has xcel available and waiting...

    WAG Platinum beam dismount options

    DD has recently been struggling with front tuck beam dismount and I am wondering if there are other non-salto Platinum level beam dismount options we could substitute, if needed, for State next weekend? Worst time ever for a mental block on a skill she has been doing for years....

    WAG Level 6 or Platinum?

    We have a small group of older girls that will either be Level 6 or Platinum this year. Last year Level 6 was pretty similar to platinum so we thought it would be better to keep them together, and we were planning on doing L6. Now with the changes, we are debating on which way to go. It's...

    WAG Platinum Beam

    I with support from my coaches have change my series of cartwheel BWO to BHS. We just had our second meet and upon receiving a low score my coach was told I'm missing an A element. My routine consist of a mount, switch leap, full turn, split jump tuck jump, back handspring, back gainer. Is it...

    WAG xcel platinum floor

    Is there a minimum time for floor routines in platinum. I know it can not be longer than 1 minute 30 seconds, but can it be as short as a minute? Trying to figure out if DD needs a new routine.

    WAG Xcel Platinum Bar Help

    Hey All, In Xcel Platinum, the gymnasts are required to have 6 A valued skills and 1 B valued skill. Although there is time left to achieve our goals, one of my gymnasts does not have her B valued skill yet. What is the deduction for not having that B valued skill? Thanks to anyone who replies!

    WAG Platinum v. L6

    So, DD's gym is changing up their program. They have decided to forego compulsories for Xcel as their route to Optionals. The current plan for my DD is XP to L7. She competed L4 with fair success last season. (Placed at every meet, podiumed at most). The gym will continue (at least for now)...

    WAG Xcel Platinum Vault question

    Hi, I'm not sure if anyone else has already asked this question as I have not been on chalkbucket often as of late. I was wondering about the reasoning behind devaluing the front handspring vault in Xcel Platinum to a 9.8 start value. Platinum is not equivalent to level 7, so why is our...

    WAG Xcel Platinum Judges - Question about beam

    My DD is doing Platinum this year after being in JO. We have a large xcel team but this is the first year offering platinum as we tend to focus on JO for skills aligned with level 6 and up. So, I am not sure if there is some missing info, but I am trying to understand if my DD is missing a B...

    WAG Front tumbling for xcel platinum?

    I am not a strong back tumbler, I have roundoff, but not a back handspring. I'm moving into my gym's xcel program this season (2015-2016), and I'm not sure what tumbling passes I can do and meet the requirements. I have a front handspring, front handspring step out, and close to a front tuck. I...

    WAG Moving out of Xcel Platinum into L7??

    Hello Chalkbucket! I am a 15 year old Xcel Platinum. I have competed two years previous to the Platinum season that I just finished; old L3 and new L4. Assuming that I have all of my skills come next season, I am planning on competing L7. What I am understanding is that in order to get there...
