Women Movement from Xcel to JO

[sce]

I moved from xcel to JO last year. After competing xcel for 3 seasons (bronze, gold, gold), I felt like I wasn't being challenged enough by the program. So I talked to the team HC about moving up to JO and she said she'd think about it. I kept asking about it until she said I could try out a practice with the level 5 team. They ended up accepting me. I competed level 4 that fall (I got moved up in August) and am now training for level 7. I was the first person at my gym to do this, although I hear some more xcel kids will be joining the JO team this summer

I love that your persistence paid off and that others may have a chance now because of your experience. All the best to you in your future competitions.

Thanks! Good luck to you as well, in whatever it may be that you pursue

It happens, I think it just depends on the area and how the xcel program is used at the gym. My daughter is at a gym that uses xcel in place of compulsories.

year 1 - bronze
year 2 - scored out of level 4, competed gold
year 3 - scored out of level 5, competed platinum
year 4 - training level 6/7, will likely compete 6 because she's not ready for L7 bars.
