Women's USAG Xcel Program

The Xcel Program is a nationally recognized competitive gymnastics program designed to offer athletes a flexible, rewarding, and fun path through the sport. At King City Gymnastics Academy, our Xcel Program allows gymnasts to compete and progress in a way that fits their individual needs, goals, and schedules—without the intense time and training demands of the traditional Developmental Program.

​

Instead of strict level-by-level progressions, gymnasts are placed in the division that best matches their current skill set and readiness. Coaches evaluate athletes and help guide them into the right starting point, with the opportunity to move up as they grow and improve.

​

Key Features of the Xcel Program:

• Custom Routines: Gymnasts perform routines that highlight their strengths and allow for creativity and individuality.

• Balanced Training: Fewer required training hours make it easier to balance gymnastics with school, other sports, and family life.

• Competition Opportunities: Athletes compete locally and regionally, with events tailored to each division’s skill level.

• Flexibility in Progression: Athletes move between divisions based on skill mastery and coach recommendation—not age or a rigid list of requirements.

The Xcel Program is a great fit for athletes who love gymnastics and want to experience the thrill of competition while maintaining flexibility in their schedule. It supports a positive team environment and helps gymnasts build confidence, strength, and a lifelong love for the sport.
