The 20 Mile Athletic Center XCEL competitive gymnastics program is sanctioned by USA Gymnastics and is designed for the gymnast who wants to experience competitive level gymnastics without the time and financial commitment of the USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic program. Xcel is a great fit for the girl whose skills, abilities, and desire have progressed beyond the recreational class level and those interested in gymnastics at the high school level. 20 Mile offers four XCEL team levels, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond, and competes in four to five regular season meets. Level requirements are based upon the USAG XCEL code of points at the compulsory and optional levels as well as the Women’s Rules & Policies. All interested gymnasts are evaluated by the XCEL coaching staff prior to being selected for a particular level. Evaluations focus on strength, flexibility, skills mastery, attitude, sportsmanship, and current team interaction. Advancement through the XCEL levels are at the discretion of the head coaches and are always communicated to both athlete and parent. The 20 Mile XCEL program prides itself on its communication, structure, teaching methodology, athlete safety, and whole team camaraderie.

"Our daughter, now 18, has been a competitive Xcel gymnast at 20 Mile Athletic Center for years. We have been impressed with how the coaches have supported not only her development as a gymnast, but also as a person. She has grown up in this gym with guidance and care resulting in a successful gymnast and a person who knows the value of team and hard work. We love 20 Mile!"
"If you are looking for a positive, fun, loving and dedicated gymnastics facility then 20 Mile Athletic Center is it! From the preschool program to the recreational program, to the USAG program including JO and XCEL, there is a place for your child!
My daughter has been with the XCEL program for 9 years and Coach Marrisa along with Coaches Nicolette and Andy have helped my daughter reach for her full potential with appropriate goals and encouragement in a safe and positive environment. The coaches also provide a nurturing environment that focuses on the gymnasts’s journey and not the color of their medal!
As a senior in high school my daughter will finish her gymnastics career this year and I know she will take away many life skills that Coach Marissa has taught her including dedication, discipline, determination, resilience, and respect. For that I would highly recommend the XCEL program at 20 Mile Athletics!"
"Our daughter has been at 20 Mile Athletics for 8 years and spent many of those on the Xcel team. We couldn’t be happier. In addition to her learning some impressive gymnastics, she has made some good friends and adores her coaches. I’ve been fortunate to have been able to watch many of their practices and competitions: it’s a joy just to watch these young ladies and their coaches come together as a team and compete at local, state, and regional tournaments. The coaches are truly the heart of the gym and create a positive, supportive environment that allows each gymnast to achieve their own individual goals. If you’d like to see your daughter make good friends and learn to safely execute amazing gymnastics, then I’d highly recommend 20 Mile Athletics to your family."
