XCel Girls Teams
Our Xcel Girls Teams
Xcel is an additional competitive program that we are excited to have to Docksiders. The mission of the program is "To provide gymnasts with an opportunity to compete at their highest level of achievement, in an atmosphere of friendship and fun". The program offers gentler guidelines than the USAG Junior Olympic program and allows gymnasts to compete on individual events if they desire rather than as an All Arounder, though the All Around option is available as well. The level is much less intense and therefore the training requirements are not as strict. The goal for Docksiders is to help keep gymnasts in the sport that they love to compete in even if their commitment cannot be at the same level as the JO program. Currently Docksiders has XCel gymnasts competing at the Gold, Platinum, and Diamond levels
Diamond
Our Diamond Level gymnasts are at a more advanced skill level, but still maintain the Xcel philosophy of fun first. As they are training more difficult skills, the commitment level is slightly higher than at Previous levels. They practice 9 hours per week, and attend 5-6 competitions per season.
Platinum
Our Platinum Level gymnasts are at a more advanced skill level, but still maintain the Xcel philosophy of fun first. As they are training more difficult skills, the commitment level is slightly higher than at Gold. They practice 9 hours per week, and attend 5-6 competitions per season.
Gold
Our Gold Level gymnasts are learning new skills and learning about competitions, but still maintains the Xcel philosophy of fun first. The gold team practices 9 hours per week, and attend 5-6 competitions per season.
