Stars Gymnastics has an amazing Xcel program. The Xcel Program is designed to offer a broad-based, affordable competitive experience outside the traditional Jr. Olympic Program to attract and retain a diverse group of athletes. The Xcel program is the perfect program for the gymnast that wants to compete but wants to participate in other activities and sports as well.
At Stars we offer 4 levels of the Xcel program. The first 2 levels (silver and Gold) are introductory levels. At these levels, all skills are mandated by USA Gymnastics and are considered introductory levels of competition. At Stars, the focus of these levels is on the development of solid and consistent basics. The demand for perfection of basic elements at the Silver and Gold levels are essential for later success at the Platinum and Diamond levels. The next levels of our Xcel program are Platinum & Diamond. These levels are when athletes have their routines individually choreographed on each event. Although skill difficulty is mandated by USA Gymnastics; athletes in these levels have options of skills that they may compete.
