At my gym xcel bronze is taught recreationally and to do xcel silver and up, you need to tryout. Currently I can do front/back handsprings, flysprings, and front tucks on tumble track. I can do roundoffs, cartwheels, front handsprings, handstand to forward roll, back extension roll to pushup, front walkovers, back kickovers(working on back walkovers), back handspring with spot and leaps on floor. On beam I can do cartwheels, handstands, roundoff dismounts, cartwheel to side handstand dismounts(working on cartwheel 3/4 turn dismount), tuck jumps, leaps, and split jumps. On vault I can do front handsprings. On bars I can do kickovers, cast to straddle, cast to squat on, and my coach says I'm very very close to getting my front hip circle on bars. However I can't do back hip circles no matter how hard I try cause I bend my arms while leaning back into it. Do I still have a chance of making it into xcel silver or no? If not is there anything I can do to keep my arms straight while leaning into my back kip circle? Thank you so much!
 
You should have a chance at Xcel Silver. Bars would be your biggest challenge, but if you coach says you are close to the front hip circle, you should be able to get it before the next competition season.
