Why Xcel
The program allows a wide choice in skills to meet requirements, so selection may be based on an individual athlete’s strengths.
Time
Less time in the gym
The commitment to time in the gym is far less than the Junior Olympic Program. Xcel athletes may spend less time in the gym, but still get to enjoy competing and being part of a gymnastics team. Because the time commitment is much less, it allows students to also take part in other school activities and sports where the Junior Olympic program would not.
Affordability
Lower tuition, fewer meets
With less time in the gym, monthly tuition is lower. Xcel also attends fewer competitions, which helps to keep expenses down.
Confidence
Routines built on strengths
Each Xcel participant can create their routines based on the skills they know and are confident with.
Program levels
The Emerge Academy Xcel Program consists of 5 levels, determined by the program director.
Competitions
Meet season
Runs from December to June depending on the schedule.
Minimum meets
Three competitions minimum per season. We highly recommend State as a final season meet.
Advancing further
Gold, Platinum, and Diamond gymnasts can travel to Regionals and the Xcel Championships if they choose, depending on qualification scores being met.
