    Women I don't understand xcel

    Hi, I don't understand xcel and I'm afraid to ask my dd's coach because I don't want to sound like a CGM! I thought my dd was competing gold but the coach said she is behind in tumbling and needed to compete silver. I'm ok with that but what does she need to be in gold? She has a back tuck...

    Parents Xcel preteam? What should we expect?

    My daughter was invited to join an Xcel pre team. We know very little about Xcel as she is coming from a regular rec class. What should we expect from Xcel pre team? Is it usually fairly similar to the regular (JO) pre team? They said they would expect her to compete a year from now. What...

    Women Xcel gold bars

    I recently competed last week and my coaches decided to change my bar routine a bit. I was wondering if this is enough for xcel gold because it is really short. So it's pullover (hopefully a kip I am so close I think I will be able to get it by the 25th -my next meet), back hip circle, squat on...

    Hello everyone. I've been teaching gymnastics at a recreational level for four years and I've really fallen in love with it. I wanted to really coach a team, as I think it would be the best way to challenge myself and really take my job to the next level. A good number of my rec kids have gone...

    Women Prep-op Xcel in Florida

    I recently moved my daughter to a new gym. They do prep-ops (Xcel?) before moving on to optionals. It seems like every gymnast does it at this gym. However, I am a bit confused as to the purpose of this? Why don't they just move up in the levels? This gym has fabulous gymnast come out of their...

    Women Moving from Xcel to JO?

    I was never in the JO program before, my coach saw talent in me last year so he moved me to the xcel program (from rec.). My goal is to become elite (go to the Olympics) and to do that you probably need to be in the JO program. Currently, I am in xcel gold. Does anyone have a list of skills you...

    Women Need help picking out Xcel Silver gymnastics floor music?

    This is my first season and I need to find my floor music within a couple days! It has to be a minute long. I'm good at dance and flexibility and grace and I am tall and old for a gymnast. I really like Katelyn Ohashi's 2012 floor music "Onegin's theme" and Nastia Liukin's 2008 music. I would...

    Xcel

    Does anyone know about xcel routines. Is it easier to have each level to do the same routines or just get them all their own routines, in this case 13 routines.

    Women Xcel requirements

    I have just a quick question. I have read that for xcel gold beam, the requirements are two acro skills, one reaching vertical. Do they have to be different skills or would a bwo- bwo in a series meet the requirement?

    Parents DD moving from XCel to L3

    Found out last week that the main coach that both my DDs have is leaving. Was not a shock. Had a heart to heart with older DD who competed XCel Bronze last year and did very well, even making it to Regionals and placing in 2 events. She was asked by HC after spring season to move to L3. At that...
