(Qualifying meets may be required.) Athletes will compete in the following levels of competition including: Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Athletes will have the opportunity to qualify for State and Regional Championships. The BGC Xcel team will also participate in local team opportunities as they are available. 

 

Progression through the program

Athletes' competitive level will be determined by coaching staff by September 31 of each season. Typically, athletes will stay in their competitive division for the duration of the competitive season.  Competitive division choices are based on meet scores and ability to consistently execute the requirements of each level. Coaches will consistently monitor and make programming adjustments for athletes to ensure their programming is most appropriate for each participant.
