USA Gymnastics XCEL Program
The USA Gymnastics Xcel Program is a competitive gymnastics program designed to provide opportunities for gymnasts of all levels and abilities to compete in a more relaxed and flexible environment compared to the traditional DEVO (Developmental) program. It’s geared towards athletes who may want to balance gymnastics with other activities or have different competitive goals.
Unlike the DEVO program, where routines are more standardized, the Xcel Program allows for greater freedom and individuality. Gymnasts can often choose which skills they want to include in their routines within the framework of each level’s requirements.
The Xcel Program prioritizes the enjoyment of the sport and the development of gymnastics skills without the pressure of the more demanding DEVO program. It’s designed to foster a positive experience for athletes of varying levels of commitment and ability.
Ignite Gymnastics offers competition team options for Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Sapphire levels in the XCEL Program. “Spark Your Inner Excellence!” with Ignite Gymnastics Team!
USA Gymnastics DEVO program
The USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic Developmental Program, often referred to as “DEVO” (Developmental), is a competitive gymnastics program designed to identify and nurture young gymnasts with potential, helping them develop their skills and prepare for higher levels of competition. The DEVO program is an important part of the pipeline that feeds into the more advanced levels of the Developmental Program.
The DEVO program is designed with a long-term perspective, aiming to build a strong foundation that supports future success in gymnastics. The emphasis is on gradual progression, ensuring that gymnasts develop at their own pace and are well-prepared for more advanced levels.
Gymnasts who excel in the DEVO program can advance to higher levels of the program as they grow and develop. The DEVO program serves as a steppingstone, providing the necessary training and experience for success in the more advanced DEVO levels or collegiate gymnastics.
Ignite Gymnastics offers competition team options for Level’s 1-10 in the DEVO program. “Spark Your Inner Excellence!” with Ignite Gymnastics Team!
Ignite Team Pop-Up Clinics
At Ignite Gymnastics, we believe that ongoing development is crucial for achieving excellence and fostering a positive environment in our gym!
We are committed to a culture of continuous learning and growth for both our coaches and athletes. To support this commitment, we offer a variety of pop-up clinics at SparkZone Athletics, designed to provide targeted learning opportunities. These clinics cover a range of levels and skills, from basic techniques to advanced elements, ensuring that everyone has the chance to enhance their abilities.
Periodically we invite collegiate and national-level clinicians to conduct special in-house clinics and training sessions. These guest experts bring a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective, offering valuable insights and advanced techniques that benefit both our athletes and coaches.
We also host regular in-house clinics with our qualified coaching staff that focus on specific skills or routines. These events allow our gymnasts to work closely with our own coaching staff and receive personalized feedback, promoting improvement and confidence.
By integrating these elements into our program, Ignite Gymnastics ensures that our athletes and coaches are always evolving and reaching their full potential. We are dedicated to creating an environment where learning and improvement are central to our success and enjoyment of the sport.
