The Xcel Program provides training and competition experience for gymnasts outside of the traditional development program. Its stated purpose is "to provide gymnasts of varying abilities and commitment levels, the opportunity for a rewarding gymnastics experience." It is the entry level competitive team for athletes 6-years-old and over who train 2-3 days a week and compete locally at gyms in the Kansas City Area. We have 5 levels beginning with Bronze and ending with Diamond. Participants compete in individual and team competitions in Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond divisions, based on age and ability level.

XCEL TEAM LEVELS

There are 5 levels to the USAG Xcel Program. The Xcel Program is designed to offer a broad-based, affordable competitive experience outside the traditional development program. All routines in this program are optional routines. The Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels will choreograph their routines for Bar, Beam, Floor, and Vault based on USAG or KC League rules, but the Platinum and Diamond levels will create their own routines. Each level has a competition and practice leotard, warmups, and a bag for the athletes.
