Xcel Program

The USA Gymnastics Xcel program was developed as an alternative competitive program offering individual flexibility to coaches and gymnasts. The goal of Xcel is to provide gymnasts of varying abilities and commitment levels the opportunity for a rewarding gymnastics experience. The program allows a wide choice in skills to meet requirements so selection may be based on an individual athlete’s strengths.

The focus of the Xcel program is sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, and fun. The emphasis in the Xcel program is on correct technique, form, and performance.

When printing replacement pages

  • Large book: Print the pages double-sided.
  • Mini book:
    • Print Actual Size
    • Print on both sides of the paper
      • Flip on the short edge
      • Landscape
    • After the pages are printed, they will need to be cut in half, and then 3-hole punched. The result is nearly identical to the original pages in the mini-book.
