At Flying High, our Competitive Gymnastics Program is built for athletes ready to take their skills to the next level! We offer a variety of competitive options—including Pre-Team, Xcel, Compulsory Levels 3–5, and Optional Levels 6–10—so every gymnast can find the right fit and soar at their own pace.
Our goal? To build strong, well-rounded athletes who shine not just on the mat, but in life, too! Many of our gymnasts juggle multiple passions, and we’re here to support them every step, flip, and leap along the way.
With a supportive team environment and coaches who truly care, Flying High feels like a second home—where confidence grows, friendships flourish, and champions are made (on and off the podium)!
Class Descriptions
Xcel Team
Additional Info
The Xcel Program is an extension of the USAG J.O. Competitive Program. It is a program that has a bit more flexibility regarding time and financial commitment.
Xcel Jr.: Any Flying High gymnast currently enrolled in Intermediate, Mini Stars, Mini Team, or Pre Team is eligible to join our Xcel Jr. Competitive Program. If your gymnast was not ready to be invited to join our J.O. Level 3 team this year, this is the perfect opportunity to introduce them to competitive gymnastics while still working towards the goal of preparing for J.O. Level 3! Your gymnast will stay in their current class while adding 1-2 extra classes a week to learn the routines they will be competing. After this “season” ends then they will either be invited to continue in our Xcel Program or possibly be invited to J.O. Level 3.
Xcel Sr.: Xcel Sr. Team is open to girls 10 & up who are currently enrolled in our Advanced, Pre-Team, or Team Programs. This class is also a perfect fit for former team members and those who have experience with J.O.
*An evaluation is required by a Flying High Coach in order to participate in Xcel Team.
