USAG Competition Teams in Littleton, From First Competitive Steps to National-Level Pursuit
AGA's USAG competition teams give gymnasts in Littleton a structured path into competitive gymnastics, starting with an evaluation that places each athlete at the level where they're ready to train and compete. Whether that's the flexible Xcel program, the traditional Development Program, or the pursuit of Elite and national team status, every team athlete trains under USAG-aligned coaching built around real, individual progression.
Built to Fit the Gymnast
- Levels Bronze–Sapphire
- 2–3 Days/Week
- 5–13 Hrs/Week
Xcel is built on sportsmanship, teamwork, and technique, with the flexibility for your gymnast to shape a routine around their own strengths, competing all the way up to State and Regional Championships.
- Girls compete Levels Bronze through Sapphire, training year-round
- Practice commitment ranges from 2 to 3 days per week and 5 to 13 hours per week, depending on level
- A strong fit for multi-sport athletes or gymnasts who want a competitive path without a 6-day-a-week gym commitment

Strong Foundations, Steady Progress
- Levels 2–10
- 3–6 Days/Week
- 12–30 Hrs/Week
The Development Program is built on one belief: every gymnast, no matter her potential, needs a solid foundation before advancing. Your gymnast moves through Levels 2 through 10 one level at a time, competing across all four Olympic events, vault, bars, beam, and floor.
- Levels 2 through 10, training year-round with a practice commitment of 3 to 6 days and 12 to 30-plus hours per week, depending on level
- Developmental Levels 1–2 build fundamental skills in a non-competitive, achievement-oriented environment

- DP athletes compete locally, regionally, and nationally
- Many AGA DP athletes go on to successful NCAA gymnastics careers
For Athletes Aiming at the International Stage
- 6 Days/Week
- 35+ Hrs/Week
The Elite program is designed for athletes hoping to compete internationally, training to a level benchmarked against international standards and progressing toward the US National Team.
- Elite athletes train year-round, 6 days a week, 35 or more hours per week
- USA Gymnastics HOPEs identifies talented gymnasts with potential to enter the International Elite program, training them at an advanced level
- Qualifying for HOPEs requires passing both the elite compulsory and optional qualifiers and meeting minimum scores
- International Elite (Jr/Sr) prepares athletes for the US National Team, selected each year at the U.S. Championships
- National Team athletes represent the United States in international competition, with team size and age requirements set by USA Gymnastics each year
A Flexible, Broad-Based Path to Competition
- Levels Bronze–Platinum
- 2–3 Days/Week
- 5–13 Hrs/Week
AGA's boys competitive team offers the same broad-based, flexible path to competition as our girls Xcel program, giving coaches and gymnasts individual flexibility in the skills they showcase while still competing at a meaningful level.
- Boys compete Levels Bronze through Platinum, training year-round
- Practice commitment ranges from 2 to 3 days per week and 5 to 13 hours per week, depending on level

- A meaningful competitive path for boys gymnasts, from first competition through advanced levels
One Gym. Four Ways to Compete.
Not every gymnast wants the same thing from competition, and that's exactly why AGA runs four independent team programs instead of one. Xcel, DP, Elite, and Boys are each coached with the same care, wherever a gymnast lands.
