What KipBook does
Somewhere between the notes app and the gym's parent portal lives the question every gymnastics family keeps asking: which skills does she actually have, and what is left before the next level? KipBook is the answer — a private skill book that belongs to the gymnast, not the gym. It comes loaded with per-apparatus skill checklists for the USA Gymnastics Development Program, levels 1 through 10, and every Xcel division, from the first pullover to giants. Each skill moves through four honest stages: not started, with a spotter, consistent, and competition-ready. Tap to advance a skill and KipBook stamps the date, building a milestone history you will wish you had started years ago — the day the kip finally clicked, the first back handspring on high beam. Because the book belongs to you, it survives everything gym life throws at it. Switch gyms after a coach change and every milestone comes with you — no portal login to lose, no club software deciding what you are allowed to see. It works fully offline in the gym lobby, the meet warm-up area, or the car ride home. No account, no subscription, nothing shared with anyone. The level ladder shows exactly how close your gymnast is to the next level on each apparatus, so almost-Level-4 becomes a real list instead of a feeling. Practice notes capture what the coach said while it is fresh. And when a coach conference comes around, the progress sheet turns months of milestones into one clean page you can actually sit down and discuss. KipBook was built for the parent who has kip — close, beam BHS — with spotter typed into a notes app right now, and for the gymnast who wants her own list. Track one gymnast at their current level free, forever. When you are ready, a single purchase opens every level, every Xcel division, and every kid in the family — no monthly fee, ever. • Skill checklists for DP levels 1-10 and all Xcel divisions, per apparatus • Four-stage skill status with dated milestone history • Level ladder showing exactly what is left before the next level • Practice notes and coach feedback kept with each skill • Printable progress sheet for coach conferences • Multiple gymnast profiles for siblings • Fully offline and gymnast-owned — survives gym switches, no account, no subscription
Features
Built to be useful, not noisy.
Skill Book
Bundled per-level, per-apparatus checklists (vault, bars, beam, floor) for DP levels 1-10 and Xcel Bronze through Diamond. Each skill has a plain-language description and a four-stage status the gymnast or parent taps to advance, stamping a dated milestone.
Level Ladder
A readiness view per level: how many skills are competition-ready on each apparatus, which ones are still with a spotter, and exactly what stands between the gymnast and the next level.
Milestone Timeline
A reverse-chronological timeline of every dated status change — the day the kip clicked, the first beam series — that becomes the gymnast's permanent history across gyms and seasons.
Gymnast Profiles
One or more gymnast profiles, each with program (DP or Xcel), current level, and gym; switching gyms just edits a field and every record survives.
Progress Sheet
A one-page, printable and shareable PDF summary of statuses and recent milestones per apparatus, made for coach conferences and level-move conversations.
Why it exists
The problem
There is no gymnast-owned record of which skills the athlete actually has and what is left before the next USAG or Xcel level. It lives in a notes app or the coach's head: gym portals (iClassPro, Hub) only show what the club's SaaS exposes and vanish on a gym switch, while the top consumer app (SkillTrakker) is $9/mon…
What's different
How KipBook stands out
SkillTrakker is an $8.99/month drills-and-training subscription with no free functionality — KipBook is a free-to-start, one-time-purchase checklist keyed to the actual DP/Xcel level structure. iClassPro, Uplifter, and Hub parent portals only work if your gym bought them, show only what coaches tick, and lose all hist…
