What is the Xcel Program?
The USA Gymnastics Xcel program was developed as an alternative competitive program offering individual flexibility to coaches and gymnasts. The goal of Xcel is to provide gymnasts of varying abilities and commitment levels the opportunity for a rewarding gymnastics experience. The program allows a wide choice in skills to meet requirements so selection may be based on an individual athlete’s strengths.
The focus of the Xcel program is sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, and fun. The emphasis in the Xcel program is on correct technique, form, and performance.
What does Azarian’s Xcel Program Look Like:
We currently have teams that cover 4 different levels of competition (Bronze, Silver, Gold & Platinum). Most of our teams train 9hrs per week (3 days, 3 hours per day) New bronze groups will train 3-6hrs per week. We take part in approximately 5-6 meets a year from January to April which culminates in a State Championships at the end of season (Gold & Platinum will also compete in Regionals if they qualify). We do 1 travel meet a year.
