    JO or Xcel?

    Should I do JO or Xcel? I am a 15 year old gymnast equivalent to JO level 4. But I do not like doing the same routine as everyone else. I would rather make up my own. But, I am scared of the necessary skills for JO optionals. I also don't want the hours I need to commit for JO. But I like the...

    Has anyone's daughter been put into the Xcel track without being told? My daughter is 9 and was told she was moving up to the Bronze level of team. We were expecting level 3 or 4 and since I had never heard of Bronze I started researching and learned about Xcel. I think the idea of the...

    Hello Can some of you give me the - Gymnastics For Dummies- version of what Xcel is and what the regular USAG program is and how they differ and why there, seems to me, two different sets of programs? Am I the only one who thinks this is confusing? Granted, I am new here so maybe its...

    I cannot for the life of me find out when New Jersey's (region 7) Xcel competition season begins. I tried looking on the USAG website and the website for my state/region, but to no avail.

    Women Switching fm Xcel to JO. How does the judging/scoring differ?

    Dd was in Xcel as of last season and will now be on the JO side of the house. I really didn't know what Xcel was and kinda had to learn along the way (we came from R5 and dd's old gym doesn't do Xcel). She competed Silver this season. And I found out Wednesday that she'll be scoring out of 4...

    A friend of my DDs came over yesterday and told us that she was going to be starting Xcel at our gym. DD is very excited for her, but I realized during the conversation that I really don't know that much about Xcel. Can someone explain to me the colors/levels within Xcel and how those compare...

    Parents NC Xcel State Team- Anyone real familiar w/ qualification rules?

    This is a spin-off of a thread in the Xcel group, but since there is more traffic here, thought I'd pose the question here, too. Does anyone have a good understanding of who makes State Team in North Carolina Xcel? (Bronze & Silver specifically, if that matters.) If so, I have questions :)...

    Parents Update on xcel regionals

    I am so glad I worried for nothing about not having a coach. DDs HC arrived right on time and the meet went off without a hitch. DD had so much fun and even managed to grab a 4th place medal on bars. It's the first time she ever broke a 9 on bars and the first time she ever got to stand on the...

    Parents Xcel vs JO ( separation)

    Disclaimer, this ismlong has some backstory where I speak in old level numbers. My dd did JO up thru old level 4. Then our gym decided to beef up their Xcel program.

    Women University Club List + XCEL Platinum

    I have a 10 yrs old who never had the Olympics dream. Her only big gym dream is to do college gym if possible. I was a bit more confident last year but now I am not so sure. We're a military family overseas and because she started gym at 7.5yrs of age, she will never receive the hours she will...
