    Parents JO to xcel- what level

    My 11 year old daughter is considering switching from JO (level 6) to Xcel. It looks like platinum is comparable to L6. Are there pre-requisites for competing platinum when moving from JO?

    Parents Daughter is pushed from JO to excel

    My dd competed L7 in JO last season, came 3rd even after an injury. All summer she worked and did not miss any practice except one week when we had a family vacation. She even asked to stay back and keep training. This is her passion. She was all-around champion last year. She is still working...

    Parents JO rules moving down?

    So we are considering a gym move. A mom from our current team mentioned the possibility of another gym moving my DD down a level since their standards are higher than USAG. They require fairly high scores during season in order to move up. If my child competed level 4 this year, is it even...

    Parents Xcel to JO Too Late?

    My DD asked me the other day why she can’t go to a college team. She’s 14 so I explained the levels and paths etc. And what most gymnasts are that go to a college team. I sense she is absorbing on all this info. I believe the answer is yes but wanted to seek out your opinion as well. She is...

    Parents Understanding the decision criteria for movement between JO and Xcel programs

    Hi, My daughter has been in the JO program at level 6. This year the head coach decided to send some of the level 6 girls to the Excel program to the Diamond level, and others to level 7. Her argument is that it's based on skills and that those sent to Diamond do not have the skills, but it...

    Anon Xcel to JO as a teen?

    I am currently an Xcel Diamond and was wondering if anyone would consider it possible to make the move to Level 8. I want a chance to compete in college (probably D3), and as far as I know, no one recruits out of Xcel. Any knowledge?

    WAG Bar Adjustments for JO Levels?

    My kid is starting level 4. We are at a very small gym with only one set of bars and the coach has them set to full height and wide distance. If my daughter is 4’4” (shortest on the team) is it normal for a coach to not be willing to adjust the bars? Is it safe for her to train at that height...

    Parents Switch from Xcel To JO

    Currently my DD is competing Xcel gold. She has all her skills for platinum , but wants to switch to JO. Do you have to do level 4 or can you skip it and possibly go to 5? She wanted me to ask this but I’m almost positive she has to compete level 4. Thanks.
