Anon Level 7 to Xcel Diamond

[Anonymous (35cf)]

Daughter is looking for less hours in the gym and thinking about shifting to Xcel Diamond. Skills wise, is this a lateral-ish move? The only thing she's aware of is needing a "C" on floor (she has a full) and needing to flip her vault, which she was training throughout level 7. Anything else major I am missing? I want this to be as stress free as possible...if that's possible in gymnastics.

We've definitely had a number of athletes do this and it wasn't hard at all. Vault can sometimes be the biggest hang up - going from the timer vault to either a flipping vault or our gym did a lot of handspring halfs or fulls - but it sounds like you're aware of that.

Needs a B turn on floor (1.5 turn fulfills this) and doesn't need a C if she has two passes with two directly connected flight elements and one is a B Salto.
