Women USAG Xcel leaps vs. jumps

[adult_gymnast_20]

What is the difference between leaps and jumps in Excel? specifically bronze, but how do you know which is which in general?

A jump starts and ends in the same place and a leap travels across the floor.

Thank you! It doesn't clarify in the xcel code of points and I've been trying to figure it out.

Also typically a jump begins on 2 feet and a leap begins on 1. There's also hops which can begin on 1 foot (for example a wolf hop which starts on 1 foot vs a wolf jump which starts on 2).

Are you in the Adult gymnastics group on Facebook?

Yes, I am! Why do you ask?

I only ask because I refer pretty much every adult gymnast I run into anywhere online or in person to it LOL. When I first joined it was only ~500 I think that was quite a while ago. I just think it's a great additional resource for anyone doing adult gymnastics especially since we didn't have anything like that even 10 years ago.

And in case anyone else doing adult gymnastics happens upon this thread now or in the future, the Facebook group is called "Just Like Fine Wine... Adult Gymnastics Group" and there are thousands of members from all over the world. Highly recommend joining to anyone who is involved in adult gymnastics in any capacity.
