    Women 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.

    Women Question about the Xcel COP vs the JO COP

    So in the Link Removedit says diamond gymnasts may compete a D skill. However, there are no D skills listed in the book. Can you just pick any D skill in the JO COP? Thanks

    Women 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!

    Men Xcel

    https://usagym.org/pages/men/pages/index.html So apparently there is now Xcel for boys. Any ideas how this is going to work? Are meet directors aware of this and ready to add sessions or is the idea that most of the competition will be local and/or in house to start?

    Women Xcel Gold Help Please

    Hello, My daughter recently made the decision to quit JO and move to Xcel. We also decided to move gyms -- she wants to join an Xcel only gym that is much less intense. This most recent season, she competed her 2nd year of level 4. Then she did a score out meet a few weeks after level 4...

    Women When do you recommend Xcel over JO?

    A question mostly for coaches: when would you recommend that an athlete switch to the Xcel track when she very much wants to stay in JO? What qualities would make a gymnast more suitable for Xcel over JO?

    Women XCEL Silver Vault judging question (WAG)

    I was at a competition last weekend, the team that was on vault had 2 coaches present. The first coach was at the vault table, however sneakily had her hand holding the front corner of the top mat. The second coach was leaning on the mat at the back. This was all to keep the mat from moving...

    Parents Seriously considering Xcel

    So we have to make some sort of a change. I truly feel like DD was "left behind" this season due to the fact that she isn't a star gymnast. Not making state has really shown me how the coaches feel about her. It's like she's being punished for not being good enough. We are at a very good gym...

    Parents xcel vs usaigc - what's the difference?

    Some gyms have one, and some have the other, but are they basically equivalent? Is the judging similar? One thing I notice is that there seem to be more low scores in igc competitions that there are in xcel. I've looked at the scores for a few competitions, and I noticed that all the teams...

    Coaches Opinions about starting an Xcel program

    Currently, our gym only offers compulsories and lower level optionals. We are a "brand new to competing" program so our girls just haven't worked their way up to the higher levels yet. A lot of our girls are also what most gyms would consider older or too old to begin competing. We are...
