    Women Xcel floor music help

    I am making a routine for a 13 year old Xcel silver gymnast. She is very tall and fairly graceful but is slow twitch in her tumbling and hasn't been doing gymnastics very long. Her dance is not great so I can't make it too fancy even though she does things very pretty. Any ideas for some music...

    Women Xcel to JO

    I saw somewhere that if you were in Xcel and wanted to go to JO, you would have to start at level 4. Is this true if you already competed level 4 at an earlier time, or would you not be allowed to start at a higher level?

    Parents Xcel to JO??

    If a child starts competing in Xcel (with dreams of JO), is it possibly to move to the JO program in the future at the same or a different gym (assuming the gym allows it)? I saw something on the USAG website stating "There is NO mobility from Xcel to the JO program." What does this mean...

    Women Staying in Xcel v. Rejoining J.O.

    Hi! I have a kind of interesting story behind me. I was a level 3 for 2 years (since I had no bhs) and I was going to move to level 4. With my age, though, and progressing at that rate, I wouldn't be a high enough level to do gymnastics in college. So my mom decided that I was going to talk to...

    Parents Do they score harder in JO than Xcel

    It seems that the JO scores in our region are lower than the Xcel is this pretty common?

    Women Does Xcel score easier than JO?

    I always thought it did, but in my first competition it seemed like the opposite. Was that just a coincidence, or does it actually score harder?(in general, I know there will be some where it varies)

    Women Xcel new changes- lower start value on Floor Routine?

    Hey guys. At my meet on Saturday, us Xcel Silvers performed our floor routines just like at the previous meet in late december, where we started out of a 10.0 start value. At this meet, we were judged out of a 9.5 start value! I can't seem to understand why we were lesser this time, as my coach...

    My DD just completed the first half of her season as a level 5, and will finish the remainder of the season as an Xcel Gold. She just learned her choreography this week, and her dance pass is split leap, split leap. I have looked at the requirements for an Xcel Gold floor routine, and the way...

    Coaches Xcel gold floor tumbling pass ideas

    Hello. I'm new this season to Xcel. I have a gymnast that is gold. Her tumbling is a big struggle for her. Her first pass is a ROBHS. My hang up is her 2nd pass. Her front handspring is very weak so a front tumble pass is kinda out till we fix it. She doesn't have an aerial, and her front salto...

    Parents switch from xcel to JO?

    I am trying to decide what would be best for DD (7). A little less than a year ago I moved her from rec to x cel pre team at a new gym further from our home. We love the gym and the program -it's really been great for her -but the drive is difficult for our family and the other kids. One of...

    Does anyone know if there is a way to "test into" Xcel Platinum without having to meet the age Requirement for Xcel Platinum? For example, if a 7 yo has all the skills to compete Platinum but the min. age is 8 yo... TIA!!

    Parents Xcel bronze floor

    Parents Xcel gold instead of compulsories?

    Since I'm still fairly new to all this, I'd appreciate any opinions! We had a meeting tonight and HC is having the new girls on the team do Xcel gold then eventually score out of 4/5 then go to either 6 or 7. Is this common? DD did two meets at level 3 while on the pre-team this spring and now...
