    Women Moving from Xcel to JO

    looking for advise on how to help my daughter move from Xcel to JO. She’s never competed any other group. So far I’ve been told she has to stay in her last competitive level upon looking into a new gym for her. Why would that be? Can’t she start at a level 4 if she has the skills, which she...

    Parents Competing both Xcel and JO and uptraining

    Two thoughts/questions but they're somewhat related. We recently switched gyms, and I saw somethings during the process of finding a new gym that I was confused by. One gym mentioned girls competing both xcel silver and level 6 through out the year. Is that even possible and what would the...

    Parents Switching from Xcel to JO, how hard is it?

    Hi everyone...I have a question about making a transition from Xcel to JO. My DD is 9 and repeated Xcel gold this year after making a gym switch. She had a very successful season (scores went from mid 34s last season to mid 37s this season) and she has been invited to transition to compulsories...

    Parents Invitation to Xcel Bronze & Silver

    My daughter is 7 and has spent almost 2 years on two different pre team levels. She recently had testing and was invited to join the competitive Xcel program. I do not know much about this, but I was wondering why the Xcel and not levels 1 or 2? Was she not good enough for those levels? I’ve...

    Women Xcel score out of 4/5

    Hello wise gym people. I have been researching myself but thought it may be easier to ask you knowledgeable folks. My daughter is part of an Xcel team. She and her teammates have really progressed and would like to score out of 4 and 5. My question is, we have a home Meet in the fall where...

    Parents Frustration with Xcel

    My daughter is in her first season competing Xcel Silver (skipped bronze, was asked to join the JO team but we opted to begin with Xcel because she has other interests). We have found the program to be good for her overall, her gym treats Xcel with just as much care & respect as their JO teams...

    Parents Am I the only (MS) Excel weirdo?

    So... I used to be a Master Certified Microsoft Office Specialist. Because of that I have gone nuts in Excel for Short Stack's meet results. There is the first tab, a worksheet, which has a table that keeps track of the level, date, name & location of each meet, along with her scores and...

    Parents Xcel to JO

    Hi, I’m new to gymnastics. My daughter is 9 years old and competing in XCEL Gold. She does very well. She’s also a competitive swimmer and plays competitive tennis. We’re not sure whether we should continue with Gymnastics. Since she’s not in JO, we don’t see a future for her. When she tried out...

    Women xcel to JO level comparison?

    I've seen various charts that are all over the place -can someone clarify this? I know XB is most similar 2, XS ranges from about 3/4 and XG is approximately 5/6 -but as certain skills are not required in Xcel (for example the clear hip -the levels are watered down a bit compared to JO). What...

    Parents Xcel level question

    Hoping to get some feedback here...my 10 year old is currently competing in Xcel Silver. She (from my inexperienced eye) looks like she is probably at the bottom of the group skill-wise. There was some talk about having her be in the bronze group, but the coaches decided it would be better...

    Coaches Tramp Board for Xcel

    Has anyone been to an Xcel meet in the last season or two that did NOT provide a tramp board/air board for Xcel sessions? For the last 2 seasons I've lugged ours around with me only to find one on site at almost every meet. However we did go to one meet that only provided 1 tramp board with 2...

    Women Xcel Bronze Beam - Adult

    Long time no chat CB! I've been busy with work and out of the country! After I returned I realized my teammates signed me up for a meet (xcel Bronze) in January. As an out of shape 31 year old I'm worried I won't have all the skills clean in a month. For beam it states "One non-flight acro...

    Big girls in xcel

    I’m competing Xcel gold this season. Some teams I’ve seen at meets have girls ages 17 doing gold or even silver. I wouldn’t have a problem with that if the girls were new to gymnastics and were at the same level but all the older girls can do every skill perfectly and score insanely high at each...

    Women Coach "Shunning" Xcel Girls

    My niece is an Xcel Platinum. Her coach limits their floor routines to 50 seconds, won't let them take their "touch" warmup before events, and only lets them take one vault, even if the first one is bad. The coach seems to have this attitude that the Xcel girls are a waste of time and barely...

    Women Question re: JO to Xcel level

    If a gymnast has competed L6, would she be able to compete XD? or would she have to score out of XP first? Thanks!

    Xcel?

    Is the xcel program only in the USA or is it in canada too? I like the way the programming is better since I could get in to that more likely than JO because all the gyms in my city do not allow teens to compete below JO 6

    Women Xcel Gold's Bar Setting?

    Couldn't find anything on google so I went here haha. Does anyone know if Xcel Gold has to have a specific bar setting? Or is it like L4 where you can have it at any distance and any height?

    Women Moving between JO and Xcel

    This is my dd's second year on team (age 8). Last year she competed Xcel gold. She now has all level 6 skills except the clear hip at this time (working on it) and bars are not her strongest event (getting better though). The plan is for her to compete JO 6 or 7 next year (depending on where...

    Women Xcel Gold Beam Routine Input

    I already asked this in the Xcel social group and have one awesome reply already but would like feedback on a Gold Beam routine. Would this routine work for a 10.0 SV: Leap-Sissone, BWO, full turn, split jump-straight jump, front tuck dismount. I think it's missing a second acro skill, but the...
