    Off Topic Required AA score for xcel gold state?

    I recently had a meet in xcel gold and I scored my lowest AA score In my life! I think it was close to a 35.00. Anyway I was wondering what AA score you needed to go to state. and if the AA Score that gets you into state can only be reached at the first meet or throughout the season? Thanks!

    Coaches How to start an Xcel program?

    My daughter goes to a noncompetitive gym. Her coach has talked about her possibly competing at Xcel level. I used to coach gymnastics years ago, so much has changed. What would be the steps for a new gym to start competing Xcel? Thanks.

    Parents Xcel program- how long does one stay on bronze, silver, gold typically?

    My 7 year old daughter is competing bronze this year. She is doing very well so far but it's very early in the season. Competitions do not start until November. My daughter is hoping that after this year she will move to silver. She has some higher skills than bronze already but they are still...

    Women Xcel Competition Leotard Sleeve Length

    Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I've posted, but I'm still coaching and loving it. My gym has decided to make the switch from JO to Xcel, and I think I've got all those changes down.

    Women Main purpose for xcel?

    Our coach was looking into xcel. She thought we could switch from Jo to xcel to fast track and then come back out on level 8. Then she was told you have to compete both? JO for that season and xcel for optional season. Is this right? Can anyone help me understand the difference between the two...

    Women Can we talk about diff gyms philosophies about xcel?

    The more I read, the more I wonder about our gym. They seem to have super crazy requirements for our xcel team. My DD's are both repeating levels - YDD will be a 2nd year bronze, ODD will be a 2nd year silver. There is a small chance ODD will move to gold, but I doubt it b/c they always have the...

    Women New Optional & Xcel Conditioning

    So today we did a new conditioning circuit with levels 6-10 & Xcel Platinum. (I'm xcel if anyone is wondering) It was very tiring, but a very creative idea that anyone can take and put their own spin on. You will need a deck of cards. So each suit represents a move. Hearts: Burpees w/...
