girls xcel program
Xcel Team Photos
The Xcel Program is designed to offer an opportunity for girls of all levels an affordable competitive experience outside the traditional Women's Development Program (WDP, previously called Junior Olympic, J.O.).
How is Xcel different from the WDP?
- First of all the commitment to time in the gym is far less than the WDP. Xcel athletes may spend less time in the gym, but still get to enjoy competing and being part of a gymnastics team.
- Second, each Xcel participant can create their routines based on the skills they know and are confident with.
- Finally is affordability. With less time in the gym, monthly tuition is lower. Xcel also attends fewer competitions which helps to keep expenses down.
Xcel is a great opportunity for Advanced Class girls interested in taking the next step in gymnastics.
Can an Xcel Gymnast compete in college?
We are so excited to say YES! Our very own Xcel Diamond, Alaina Syverson is competing for Gustavus College starting in 2021-22. Read more about her HERE.
