Competitive Gymnastics at TNT

Two Paths, One Goal: Excellence

At TNT, we offer two competitive tracks in women’s artistic gymnastics: the Developmental Program (formerly Junior Olympics) and the Xcel Program. Both provide opportunities for athletes to learn, grow, and shine on the competition floor — the right fit depends on your gymnast’s goals, commitment, and skill level.


Season & Commitment

Season Length: Competition season runs from September through May.
Year-Round Training: Athletes train year-round to build strength, consistency, and confidence.
Evaluations: Gymnasts new to competition must be evaluated by a certified coach to determine the best level placement.
Tryouts: Held annually in April–May (invitation required for some programs).

Already a competitive gymnast? We welcome transfers from other gyms year-round — just reach out and we’ll work with you to find the right spot for your athlete.


Developmental Program (Levels 3–10)
Formerly known as the Junior Olympic Program, this track is built on the belief that every athlete needs a solid foundation of basic skills in order to progress safely and successfully.

Levels: 3–10, divided into three segments: Development, Compulsory, and Optional.
Advancement: Gymnasts may move through more than one level in a year, advancing at their own pace.
Commitment: This is an invitation-only program for athletes who demonstrate dedication, discipline, and a competitive mindset.
Minimum Age: 6 years old.

Xcel Program

The Xcel Program is designed to provide a flexible, affordable, and fun competitive experience for a wide range of athletes. It’s a perfect fit for gymnasts who want to compete but prefer shorter training hours or a more balanced commitment.

Competition: Athletes compete at multiple meets throughout the season, including the Maryland State Meet.
Flexibility: Shorter practice hours than the Developmental Program.
Accessibility: Open to a diverse group of athletes with varying skill levels.
Minimum Age: 5 years old.
