Women's USAG Team Programs
Development Program
Level 2-10
The USA Gymnastics Women’s Development Program (WDP) was created with the belief that all athletes, regardless of their potential, must have a solid foundation of basic skills in order to advance safely. The program allows the gymnast to advance at their own pace, competing in more than one level in a year, if they so chooses.
Xcel Program
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, & Diamond
The USA Gymnastics Xcel Program was developed as an alternative competitive program offering 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.
