Pre-Team and Advanced Pre-Team is an introductory level to prepare gymnasts for competition, and into the mindset of learning routines. We work on basic gymnastics shapes through strength and flexibility. This is the time to help our gymnasts build their foundation for their career as a competitive gymnast. This is also the time to focus on strengthening and developing their muscles and muscular habits.
Developmental: The Developmental program is essentially the XCEL program but with higher skill requirements and a larger time commitment. This program closer models a compulsory program with steps that lead in to our Optional team. This group competes at the same number of competitions as our XCEL program but will compete slightly more difficult routines.
Optional: The third segment is Levels 6-10. Levels 6, 7, 8, and 9 have difficulty restrictions, while Level 10 has no restrictions in the skill choice. Composition is evaluated at Levels 8, 9, and 10. Refer to the Women’s Development Program (WDP) Code of Points for a complete explanation of Level 6-10 rules.
Levels 6-10 compete in USAG sanctioned meets from December through April.
What is Xcel?
Xcel and Developmental Xcel are two different programs. The Xcel Program is a branch of Seaside’s Competitive Gymnastics Team. Where Developmental Xcel is in place of what used to be the Compulsory Program; the Xcel Program has a wider range of skills that can be used to meet requirements. This allows the Xcel Program to be tailored to each individual’s strengths. Athletes train throughout the entire year and compete on various weekends from December through May. The emphasis of the program is on correct technique, form, performance quality, sportsmanship, and mindset growth. With reduced hours, in comparison to the Developmental Xcel Program, the Xcel Team allows athletes of varying commitment levels an opportunity for a rewarding competitive gymnastics experience.
