    Parents Xcel Requirements

    Is there a set of requirements for each xcel level? My older dd, who is 12, went to a gymnastics bday party today and has decided that she wants to give up cheer for a bit and focus on gymnastics. She did a few years of gym about five years ago and has been cheering since. She has some decent...

    Parents Xcel Regionals

    My DD competed at Xcel Regionals this past Friday and what an experience that was! Our gym doesn't normally send Xcel gymnasts to regionals but because it was only a hour away from us this year, they made it an optional meet. It was a real eye-opener for me regarding how different states and...

    Parents Question about excel competitions

    Ok, I'm new at this and after another mom was voicing concerns to me about elite track girls attending the same competitions as JO and excel, I was wondering, is this true? Do they all attend the same meets and compete against each other even though one level 5 might be doing 8 hours a week and...

    Women Regional Team Alternate XCel

    My DD was named Regional Team alternate at her State Meet on Sat :) There are 6 team members and 2 alternates. There are also 4 All Stars. They fit her for a Reg Team leo and said she would compete no matter what. If no one from the team was injured her score would just not count toward the team...

    Women New Routines and Xcel Program

    I am relatively new to WAG. I have a MAG competitor....Night and Day!! Once the routines change, is USAG trying to eliminate the need for Xcel? Or will this still be part of track B (if you will)? I fugure that with the added L6 L7 L8 it gives more room for girls to be part of the JO program...

    Parents Xcel advice for Bronze/Silver dd

    My dd is in Bronze. We have one more meet bf states and regionals. Then next year is Silver! I've looked online and most of the time I see that once a girl is in Xcel, she is stuck there. I am very much confused. Can my dd go to jo at some point later (after platinum). I really want her to...

    Women What exactly is excel and is it right for me?

    I started gymnastics in mid August of 2012. I am currently a level 4..I don't compete but I definitely want to soon, after I clean up a few things. My coach, out of the blue, asked me what I want to do with gymnastics. I told her I wanted to compete and get as good as I can. She also asked me of...

    Parents Xcel vs JO

    My DD is 7 and competing bronze Xcel and is on her first year competing. I thought I read somewhere that there is little or no mobility out of Xcel back to JO program. Now I know my Dd is only 7 but her dream is the Olympics. I know it's a long shot of her ever getting there but are we limiting...

    Coaches Xcel Skill Question

    For Xcel - - If a child cannot do a squat-on, are they able to just "climb up" and jump to high bar? I shudder even asking this question, but my curiosity makes me. Obviously it is not a skill, but is it a deduction?

    Women Xcel region 6 championships? (And a brag)

    So, first about the regionals. I was told at gym that there would be regional championships for Xcel. My coaches didn't know wether to qualify you had to place top 6 all around in your age group at states or in the whole meet. Anybody know more? My sister who is a gold wants to know. Now the...
