T&T
T&T Competes in 3 distinct events with a synchronized option for Trampoline.
Power Tumbling is performed on elevated fiberglass runways that help tumblers propel themselves higher and faster. Top-level contenders will perform explosive somersaults with multiple flips and twists.
Double Mini-Trampoline combines the horizontal run of tumbling with the vertical rebound of the trampoline. After a short run, the athlete jumps onto a small two-level trampoline to perform a rebounding trick immediately followed by a dismount element onto a landing mat.
Trampoline in international competitions, these modern trampolines can propel trained athletes as high as 30 feet in the air during performances. During two competitive routines of 10 skills each.
Synchronized Trampoline Using two trampolines, two athletes perform identical 10-skill routines at the same time. In this most artistic event in the sport, each performs as a mirror image of the other.
T&T follows a similar competitive structure, with levels 1-6 being considered compulsory and more optional becoming available to athletes in levels 7-10 as optional, with the addition of the Elite program. Similarly, the Elite program is where athletes have the opportunity to compete on the international scene.
Women's Developmental Program (Formerly Known As JO/Junior Olympic)
Our national governing body, USA Gymnastics, directs competitive gymnastics. USAG has three distinct programs: Developmental level 1-2, Compulsory 3-5, Optional 6-10, and Elite. The Elite program is where international and Olympic-level athletes are trained.
At World Champions Centre, “TEAM” begins with our competitive Level 1 and continues through our Elite programs. In levels 1 to 5, athletes compete in “Compulsory Levels.” Level 6to 10 are considered “Optionals.” Within optionals gymnasts may compose their own routines; however, they must include certain required elements. In Texas, the compulsory season runs from August to the end of the calendar year, and the optional season runs from the first of the calendar year and is generally completed by the end of May.
ELITE is an invitation-only group. Elite gymnasts have higher expectations. All gymnasts in this group are required to attend two workouts a day. Gymnasts invited to the Elite program will have individual parent/athlete meetings to talk about workouts, school, expectations, competitions, etc.
Xcel
Is a competitive gymnastics program that follows the same structure, events, judging, and skill development that the DP Women’s program. The Xcel program has a less intensive training regimen, allowing athletes to participate in more activities outside of the gym. The program is designed to provide a broad-based, affordable, competitive experience. It was designed to open the door for competitive gymnastics to more athletes.
The Xcel program has 5 distinct levels, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, & Sapphire. The great thing about the Xcel program is that it provides athletes the ability to shine in events they personally do well in and gives athletes the ability to perform skills they are comfortable with. For instance, most athletes prefer back tumbling. In Xcel, if an athlete is struggling with back tumbling but performing well in their front tumbling they can then perform those skills instead.

For athletes drawn to flight, flips, and speed, our Trampoline & Tumbling (T&T) program offers an exhilarating take on competitive gymnastics. T&T includes three primary events—with an artistic twist:
Power Tumbling: Performed on a fiberglass runway, this event involves explosive passes featuring flips and twists. Top-level tumblers can execute incredibly dynamic sequences.
Double Mini-Trampoline: This hybrid event combines a running start, a jump onto a two-level trampoline, and a high-flying dismount.
Trampoline: Athletes perform two routines, each with 10 skills, reaching up to 30 feet in height. Trampoline demands precision, body control, and aerial awareness.
Synchronized Trampoline: Two athletes perform mirrored routines on adjacent trampolines, judged on execution and synchronization.

Xcel Program
Our Xcel Program is perfect for athletes seeking a competitive experience with a more flexible training schedule. Xcel is structured similarly to the Women’s Developmental Program, covering the same apparatus (vault, bars, beam, floor), judging criteria, and skill development—but with more freedom and customization.
The five Xcel divisions include:
● Bronze
● Silver
● Gold
● Platinum
● Diamond
● Sapphire (NEW advanced level)
What makes Xcel unique is its adaptability. Athletes can focus on skills they excel in and bypass those they’re not ready for. For example, if a gymnast struggles with back tumbling but excels in front tumbling, they can build their routines around those strengths.
This makes Xcel ideal for gymnasts who:
● Participate in other extracurricular activities
● Transitioned from more intense programs
● Want to enjoy competitive gymnastics in a more personalized way
It’s also a wonderful program for older gymnasts who still love the sport but are balancing school, jobs, or other time commitments.
