This is our third level of COMPETITIVE TEAM GYMNASTICS OUTSIDE OF THE GYM. Xcel Gold/Level 4-5 Team Gymnasts may compete USA Gymnastics and/or Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) depending on what coaches think is best for the particular gymnast during competition season. A gymnast must earn a qualifying all around score in Level 4 in order to move up to Level 5.
Our Xcel Gold/Level 4-5 program is a 2 hour class 2 times per week, with the option of adding a 2-hour Friday night “Advanced Team” workout 2x per month, as scheduled by the coach(es) during the regular school year. This additional optional workout plus your normal 2 days per week is considered “Advanced Team”. The cost for Advanced Team is $160 per month September thru May. During the Summer months June thru August, there is no Advanced Team, and all team gymnasts should just pay regular Tuition of $135 per month.
Xcel Gold/Level 4-5 gymnasts should be members of USA Gymnastics, an there is an additional annual fee for that. Gold/Level 4-5 Team gymnasts will be required to have a Team Leotard, Warm-up set, and Duffel bag or Backpack. We try to keep the prices as low as possible on these items, but plan to spend around $250 on the total uniform package. We try to use the same leotards for a couple of years. Meet Fees: away Meet Entry Fees run $100 - $160 per meet and we usually attend 3 - 6 meets per school year. So moving up to Gold can be an added expense of $300 - $600 per year, depending on the number of meets you attend. By this level, your gymnast is expected to try to make it to most of the meets the team attends.
Deciding to be part of our Gold/Level 4-5 program is a commitment to our TEAM program. It means your goal is to try to move up within our team program - you want to compete and train to be the best gymnast you can be! Being on the Xcel Gold/Level 4-5 Team also means you are striving to become a USA Gymnastics Level 6-10 optional gymnast someday.
Being ready for Gold/Level 4-5 does not mean you have to move to that team - it just means you are ready and have that option if it is what you & your family want to do. DO NOT feel like your gymnastics career is over if you do not want to move up. We will continue to work with you with the same expertise and high level of coaching that all of our gymnasts and levels receive. That is the best thing about our program - all of the classes Beginner through Team are taught by the same TEAM coaches and we treat everyone the same, no matter what level or program you are part of. This is something you will NOT find at most other gyms. Once part of this team, you are expected to remain enrolled and pay for the program year round. You CAN NOT take the summer or a month off, and then rejoin the Team when school starts. You are required to pay for 12 - 4 week months per year whether you attend class or not. You are also expected to make up for any missed classes.
XCEL GOLD/Level 4-5 TEAM GYMNASTS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND 2 WEEKS of ATM Gymnastics SUMMER CAMP. If you want to attend our special TEAM CAMP week, you must attend at least one additional week of Summer Camp - Camp is an important part of our Team Training and Bonding. We also expect our higher level Team gymnasts to be leaders and mentors for other kids at camp!
