Visiting Texas for a bit and Looking for a good gym in Texas, preferably near and around DFW that offers an Xcel program. Struggling to find a good gym that offers Xcel.

In addition, she is an ex JO gymnast who switched to Xcel for her mental health, but wants to compete back in JO and hopefully be recruited. Any tips on what steps to take? Everything is welcome.

How old, and what level? Switching back to DP after Xcel isn’t impossible, but it’s rare unless the gymnast is exceptionally talented. I can think of two gymnasts in the last 10 years at our gym who moved from xcel into DP, one is now at a D3 school, the other is a 9th grade level 10. So while possible, it’s rare.

What part of the Metroplex are in? DFW is a huge area with lots of gyms and it makes sense to back into this based on where you live.

She is a freshman who was originally supposed to to compete level 9 back in 2022, but took a long break for her mental health. She's back in Xcel competing the season but she craves that competitiveness again. She may go level 8 this next season. But we'll see. The gym she goes to unfortunately doesn't have high hopes for her any time soon.
