Xcel Program

Our Xcel Program offers a rewarding and flexible competitive gymnastics experience for athletes who want to stay engaged in the sport while balancing other commitments, such as school, extracurricular activities, or other sports. 

Governed by USA Gymnastics, this program is ideal for gymnasts looking to explore competition with more freedom and creativity.

The Xcel Program features five competitive levels offered at Dunne’s: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond, each designed to meet athletes where they are in their gymnastics journey. 

Whether a gymnast is new to competition or more experienced and seeking a lower time commitment than the Development Program, Xcel provides a supportive and exciting path forward.

Why Choose Xcel?

• Allows gymnasts to pursue gymnastics alongside other interests

• Emphasizes individual expression and creativity in routines

• Encourages athletes to showcase their strengths

• Provides a positive team environment and competitive experience

• Offers local and regional competition opportunities

Xcel Bronze & Silver 

_{Introductory Competitive Levels}

Athletes at these levels compete in group-choreographed routines tailored to each gymnast's individual strengths. They typically train 2–3 days per week year-round (June–June) and participate in 4–6 meets per season, culminating in:

• Bronze: State Sectionals

• Silver: State Championships

This is the perfect entry point for gymnasts who are newer to competition or seeking a lower-intensity option within a team setting.

Xcel Gold, Platinum & Diamond 

_{Advanced Competitive Levels}

These upper-level Xcel athletes create personalized routines in collaboration with coaches and choreographers, allowing for greater individuality and technical development. Athletes train 3–4 days per week year-round (June–June), with a focus on building:

• Strength and flexibility

• High-level performance skills

• Confidence and self-expression

The season’s goal for these levels is qualification to the Regional Championships, offering a competitive and inspiring environment that still supports outside interests and academic success.
