    Women Xcel Program

    Does anyone here do the Xcel program at their gym? It seems like this is starting to become the new trend. I'm worried it might take over the Girls Competitive program if we add it. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions for this?

    Coaches Excel under JO jurisdiction

    I just read this weekend in Technique that the Women's Program Committee voted that Excel will be under JO jurisdiction, but they haven't determined all the details yet. I think it could be a good thing to create more cohesiveness around the country in Excel. It would create national standards...

    2nd Xcel Silver Meet!!

    I just got home a couple of hours ago from my 2nd Silver meet this season!! Overall, I think I had a great meet. The meet was a little less than an hour and a half behind, so, when we got there 30 minutes before Open Stretch was supposed to start, We had to wait quite a while. Warm ups went...

    GA Xcel Bronze question

    So I am new to Xcel/Prep and I was checking out the "rules" for the Xcel Bronze and have a few concerns. Before I go to DD's coach, I want to ask here to see if I am reading them correctly. On Bars: 1. One backward Circling (360 degrees) element or VP 2.Cast (hips must leave front support...

    How does your gym treat prep op (XCel)?

    Does your gym and/or team website exclude them or list them as one of the teams? If they compete in the same meet--but at different times/divisions (they did sometimes here), does the website only list level 4-10 results and not the prep op? If prep op teams win meets, is there any mention...

    Preseason Xcel platinum meet complete - yay!

    DD11 had her first (preseason) meet this weekend. We didn't know what to expect because she skipped the gold level and there is a big jump in the required skills between silver and platinum. Add to that she really has only been training many of these skills a few months. But she really did...
