DP (Development Program)
Our national governing body, USA Gymnastics, directs competitive gymnastics. The Development Program has 3 sections: Compulsory levels 3-5, Optional levels 6-10, and Elite. At Lake Point, our competitive team begins at Level 3 and continues through Level 10. Competitive team requires past gymnastics experience, good work ethic, and a desire to learn.
Seasons: Levels 3-5 (Compulsory) run September to January. Levels 6-10 (Optionals) run December to May.
Xcel
Xcel is a competitive gymnastics program that follows the same structure, events, judging, and skill development as DP, with a less intensive training schedule so athletes can take part in more activities outside the gym. It's designed to provide a broad-based, affordable competitive experience. Xcel has 6 levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Sapphire.
Seasons: Bronze and Silver run September to January. Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Sapphire run December to April.
Hot Shots (Pre-Competitive)
Hot Shots is Lake Point's pre-competitive team program, designed for athletes who show potential and drive to be competitive gymnasts. Pre-team focuses on building the foundation, strength, and flexibility a gymnast needs, in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. Our goal is to foster a love and ambition for the sport while preparing athletes for future competitive opportunities.
Hot Shots 1: Entry level to pre-team, ages 3+.
Hot Shots 2: Evaluation required, ages 3+.
