[quote=Anonymous]Would you consider an xcel program or a gym with a house league? I think that it gets tricky to keep progressing within rec gymnastics at a certain point, especially if your child genuinely wants to improve in technique. Most rec programs are better suited to kids interested in chucking stuff and having fun on the mats, which is ok but probably unsatisfying for your DD.

Xcel, when done as it was originally intended, is a great middle ground between the USAG developmental program and rec gymnastics. I live out of the area, but in my area gyms that offer xcel usually populate their teams with girls  from the rec program and practices start at twice a week for 2 hours/day. It's better to find a gym that does xcel and DP concurrently- ones with just xcel as their competitive program are usually more time-intensive and competitive in their team placement than I think you're looking for.

Whatever you do, don't let your kid do tumbling at a place that doesn't have a sprung floor. They are too young to start accumulating those sorts of impact landings.[/quote]
