Women’s Development Program

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 WDP is divided into three major segments: Developmental, Compulsory, and Optional.

  • Developmental: At Clovis Academy, Levels 2 and 3 are used as an introductory competitive program.

  • Compulsory: Levels 4 and 5. Both of these levels are progressive in nature, building upon the skills required at the previous level. Competitive opportunities are provided up to and including State Championships.

  • Optional: Levels 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Levels 6 and 7 have competitive opportunities up to and including State and Regional Championships. Additional competitive opportunities are provided for Levels 8-10, with the Level 10 competitive season culminating at the WDP National Championships, Level 9 at the Western Championships, and Level 8 at the Regional Championships.

WDP competitions are conducted throughout the United States and are organized by the USA Gymnastics State and Regional Administrative Committees.

Xcel

The USA Gymnastics Xcel program was developed as an alternative competitive program offering individual 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 through levels Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Sapphire.
