    Women Xcel to jo

    Hello! I’m am currently an xcel gymnast, and competed xcel platinum last season and I’m training diamond. I started gymnastics at the age of 3, and the gym that I started at didn’t have jo, so I started in the xcel program and continued with it. Although I have just completed platinum, I have...

    8 year old dd switching from acro to gymnastics. Now xcel tryouts!

    My 8 year old dd has been dancing for 2 years. Never really liked dance, except acro- which she excelled at. After years of begging we took the plunge, against her Drs advice and signed her up for gymnastics. She is just so passionate about it. Every video, everywhere we go, it's all she does...

    Women Joining Xcel - Questions about difficulty levels and allowable skills

    Hi just about a year ago I was a level 8 about to be level 9 gymnast and then decided to quit due to stress and most likely burn out. Now almost a year later I am dying to go back and I am planning on going into Xcel Diamond. I have been able to retain all my skills for the most part and I most...

    Women Dance passage XCEL bronze

    We recently completed our state meet and several of our girls had a 9.0 start value on floor. We were told that their dance series did not meet requirements, which I am sure is the case. Some of our girls competed a chasse’, split leap (leaps met angle requirement), followed by a straight jump...

    Women Xcel bronze to JO 4?

    Sorry if this has been discussed already. I did a few searches but didn't find our situation or the posts were very old. DD was invited to join JO level 3 last year but chose to do Xcel bronze instead. She has been in gymnastics since she was 2 but really fell in love with it this season. She...

    Parents Xcel Bronze to JO3?

    DD7 might be able to try out for her gym's JO3 team in May; she is now finishing her first season of Xcel Bronze. I'd love to hear from coaches or parents who have seen girls make this transition. What are the biggest hurdles? Bars, I'd guess? Anything she could do at home to improve her...

    Parents Return to developmental after one season of Xcel?

    My 6th-grader had kind of a rough year on Xcel Bronze. She only returned to women's gymnastics in the summer (after a few years of fluffy just-for-fun tumbling/cheer classes) and then joined the Xcel team at a different gym in the fall. She can do all of the skills, but not with...

    Parents Questions about Xcel

    Ok I have had a question or a few questions about the xcel program since day 1 and now it has drawn more concern for me. I’m so lost! Where we are from a lot of gyms are somewhat abusing the purpose of the Xcel program. From my understanding, the program was primarily for gymnasts who wanted...

    Parents Moving from Xcel to JO and back to Xcel

    Just curious because this question came up at a recent meet...one team had gymnasts compete Xcel Diamond last season. They then competed Level 7 at a meet in December 2018 and back to Xcel Diamond at a meet held January 2019. Are there rules around mobility between Xcel and Level 7 within a...
