    https://usagym.org/PDFs/Women/Rules/J.O.%20Code%20of%20Points/appndx14_optreqchart_2014_030315.pdf This is the optional requirement chart. As you can see, the only "flat" level 7 requirement is a BLO on floor. So yes, it is possible to compete level 7 wihtout giants.

    Off Topic High School-inner city vs. suburban?

    This year, I have the option of staying at my current inner-city school, or transferring to my hometown's suburban school. My concern is getting a scholarship to actually be able to pay for "bigger" colleges, say I get in to one. I know inner-city students are generally given more scholarships...

    WAG Ages at xcel?

    What is the "normal" age for someone to compete silver/gold/platinum at you gym? We started a bronze team, and most of the girls are 6/7/8. We don't have higher levels (yet), and since I'm being moved to xcel, I was wondering what to expect. :)

    WAG Front Walkover Help?

    I have a front handspring step-out, a front handspring, and a back walkover. However, no matter how hard I try, I cannot get the hang of the front walkover. It feels like I'm not getting enough push from my wrists to actually get up. Is there any drills I can do at home to get it? Thanks for...

    WAG Front tumbling for xcel platinum?

    I am not a strong back tumbler, I have roundoff, but not a back handspring. I'm moving into my gym's xcel program this season (2015-2016), and I'm not sure what tumbling passes I can do and meet the requirements. I have a front handspring, front handspring step out, and close to a front tuck. I...
