Rec Team

The Rec Team is designed for athletes invited to join an Advanced Gymnastics class, aiming to immerse gymnasts in the experience of being part of a competitive gymnastics team. Participants will work on routines tailored to their unique skill levels and progress through all four Olympic events.

1) Gymnasts motivated to advance towards securing a spot on a Roots competitive team. 

2) Gymnasts looking to delve into the competitive side of gymnastics without making a full commitment to a Team program. 

3) Gymnasts who are passionate about gymnastics and desire a more team-focused environment than what an Advanced Recreational class provides. 

4) Gymnasts excited about the sport but unsure of what competition involves; this program will give them valuable insights into the competitive experience. 

Developmental Team

The Women’s Development Program (WDP) was established with the conviction that every athlete, regardless of their potential, needs a strong foundation of fundamental skills to progress safely. The program enables gymnasts to advance at their own pace.

Levels 1 through 3 can serve as a non-competitive, achievement-focused pathway for introductory or recreational competitive gymnastics.

Compulsory: The second segment includes Levels 4 and 5, both of which are designed to be progressive, building on the skills acquired at the preceding level.

Optional: The third segment encompasses Levels 6-10, with Levels 6, 7, 8, and 9 featuring specific difficulty restrictions.

Xcel Team

The Xcel program provides an engaging alternative option within USA Gymnastics, showcasing a unique structure that offers enhanced flexibility for both coaches and gymnasts. According to USA Gymnastics, “The Xcel Program is designed to provide a broad-based, affordable competitive experience beyond the traditional Developmental Program, aimed at attracting and retaining a diverse range of athletes.” This program is flexible enough to accommodate various skill levels and individual goals, making it an appealing choice for many. The Xcel program consists of five distinct levels—Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond—each designed to challenge participants appropriately while promoting growth and fostering a love for the sport. This structure not only encourages skill development but also supports a sense of community among athletes and coaches alik.
