XCEL TEAM

USAG Women's Xcel Program

The Xcel Program is an alternative USA Gymnastics 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.

Please contact the gym for more information with regards to our Xcel team. Transferring from another gym or being new to the area is fine, we just ask that you please send an email to mquigley@griffingymnastics.com

Different Levels

SILVER

DIAMOND/sapphire

GOLD/PLATINUM

At the Xcel Silver level, the requirements are very similar to the Bronze level except this is the first level with a splitting requirement on both Floor and Beam.

Please note: Dynamic Gymnastics does not offer Xcel Bronze.

GOLD/PLATINUM

DIAMOND/sapphire

GOLD/PLATINUM

At the Xcel Gold level, the requirements are upped a bit to include six skills on Bars and seven skills on Beam and Floor.

Xcel Platinum level gymnasts must have seven skills on all events, minus vault. The splitting requirements get bigger and they must perform a ‘B’ element on all events.

DIAMOND/sapphire

Xcel Diamond is the second highest level of Xcel. These gymnasts must do seven skills at each event, except vault. They must perform two ‘B’ level elements.

Sapphire is fairly new. This level of Xcel offers gymnasts who can perform higher-level skills and bonus combinations at an Xcel Diamond level (and beyond) the unique opportunity to advance.
