    Coaches Connections for Xcel Silver

    I was wondering if a kid does the roundoff , rebounds and in their rebound they go to lace their fingers together for the backwards roll does that break connection? I’ve tried telling her that she doesn’t need to do that and i’d prefer for her not to lace her fingers for safety reasons. I don’t...

    WAG USAIGC Silver Skill Requirements?

    I am a 14 year old gymnast in a team unique to my state with very few requirements to be on the team. I am one of the older ones on the team but was thinking about moving to our USAIGC program since I am training higher level skills than most of my teammates and IGC would be the next step. For...

    WAG Xcel silver floor - running entry into aerial?

    For Xcel silver floor, it seems like an aerial can be used to satisfy the flight skill pass. I am wondering whether it matters how the gymnast enters into the aerial. For example, does it matter if they have a running start, a short hurdle, or do a standing aerial? Does the entry into the aerial...

    Anon Moving up to Gold or staying in Silver?

    I am a 7th grader who was a first-year Silver last season. I was the highest-scoring gymnast on my team and placed very well at States (and missed Regionals by a hair!!!) Because of this, my coaches think that I could do Gold if I am up for the challenge. My beam and bars are ready for Gold...

    Parents Xcel silver beam question

    For xcel silver- Is the split jump required for beam or can they do a tuck jump instead? My daughters coach told her to do a tuck jump at the next meet because she performs it better than the split jump but every routine I see they do the split jump.

    WAG Small Gymnast XCel Silver

    Hello friends, I have an XCel Silver who just turned 7 and is very small in stature. Our routine starts with a glide swing and then using the Kip block to push off of for a pullover. The problem is, she is so tiny that she can’t use the block to push off of. Her toes barely scrape the edge. She...

    WAG Would this work as an xcel silver bar routine?

    My DD is feeling uncomfortable with parts of her routine. She did some research and wants to change it to kip, front hip circle, cast, cast, dismount. Would that work? Her other possibilities would be doing two front hip circles or a single back hip circle, but she doesn’t like back hip circles...
