Hello! My daughter is in a very small gym with small teams and only a couple of team coaches. I want to start by saying, we LOVE this gym and the coaches! An absolutely fantastic gym! The gym offers only XCEL until level 6. I've never asked why, but I imagine it is due to the size of the gym and the teams. The gym has successful level 6+ gymnasts too.
Recently, a coach from another gym said our daughter should be in JO due to her ability. Note he was not trying to get her to his gym, he lives in another state.
The questions: does it matter if a girl does XCEL until level 6? Is it hard to go JO from XCEL? I am learning from being on this board that JO seems to be higher esteemed. But my daughter trains more hours in XCEL than most other gyms at the compatible JO level train. She wants to go all the way through level 10 (her goals). XCEL won't hurt that, right?
