The Xcel program at Dominique Dawes Academy is designed for kids who want to be involved in a competitive team environment but with a less rigorous practice schedule. It is an intensive but flexible program designed for gymnasts who also want to maintain an active schedule outside of gymnastics. The Xcel program specializes in skills development, growth and advancement at a pace that mimics each gymnast’s ability differently.
