Dd was in Xcel as of last season and will now be on the JO side of the house. I really didn't know what Xcel was and kinda had to learn along the way (we came from R5 and dd's old gym doesn't do Xcel). She competed Silver this season. And I found out Wednesday that she'll be scoring out of 4. The plan was for her to also score out of 5 as well and move onto 6. But dd hasn't stuck her flyaways for coach to be comfie enough to compete 6 in the spring. She'll do a meet or a few as L5 while still training/learning L6/L7 skills. Compulsory did compete in the fall, but L5 will be competing in the spring this go round. It's still fairly early. So he's going to play it by ear and she if she's ready come competition time. And if she stays L5 2014/2015 season, she'll compete L7 the next season.
I'm happy she's switching to JO. I've been told the judging is different from Xcel (kinda tough/strict). However, I have no idea how different it is. She's done pretty well competing Xcel. She's the type of gymnast that will get bored if she doesn't feel like she has any competition and/or challenge. I told her coach this back in December, and after the season ended, he pretty much confirmed what I said. She's a talented girl. I know this switch will be good for her. It'll keep her on her toes. I just want to know what to expect, switching over.
