    Coaches How to start an Xcel program?

    Do you know off hand the approximate costs of USAG and STate Registration fees? or is that all just in the Code of Points. He is having me do some of the initial research as he is having some surgery this week. Not sure if several kids will compete or just a couple. Thank you.

    Coaches How to start an Xcel program?

    WAG Xcel Bronze

    Thank you. I am thinking since she is so weak on bars, it might be best to put her in Bronze. IDK. Is she allowed to do the harder tricks on the apparatuses that she does well on? Will be getting more information this week and talking to the coach who does the XCel program. The owner of the gym...

    WAG Xcel Bronze

    Just looking into maybe doing competitions. Do the gymnasts have to start at Bronze? My daughter has only been in gymnastics for less than a year, but had several years of ballet. She can do double backhandspring on floor and working on tuck, on beam she can do backwalkover, can complete a...
