Anyways, go here for Xcel rules:

Basically Xcel/Prep-Op is an alternative program to competing in the Junior Olympic program (think L2-8/9).

You can create your own routines from the very first level though there are requirements per level.

Many gyms use Xcel/Prep-Op as a program that the recreational program goes toward. Some use it as an alternative to JO, especially if a gymnast is in between levels. Some Xcel groups train just as much as JO whereas most tend to train more than rec but not as much as team.

As well, Xcel meet seasons tend to be cheaper than JO. Fewer meets typically.
