Boys Gymnastics Teams
Competitive Gymnastics is a rewarding sport that fosters strength, focus, teamwork, determination, and personal satisfaction. We're proud of our teams and our coaches. Exxcel's Boys Teams have won many individual and team awards, as well as state, regional, and national titles.
We select team coaches very carefully — creating. a unique combination of discipline, structure, hard work, nurture, and fun to bring out the best in each of our athletes. Exxcel's team coaches have years of experience training and competing athletes at the highest levels, and many also bring their own international competition experience.
At the team level, gymnastics is also a demanding sport that requires time, energy, dedication and commitment. We understand however, that there is life outside the gym. For that reason, there are varying levels of commitment within the Exxcel Boys Team program to suit different goals and lifestyles.
If you have specific program questions or would like to request an evaluation. Please call the office at (617) 244-3300.
Boys Team Options
Boys Pre – Team
Pre-team meets twice a week for a total of 3 hours. The pre-team program is for boys who may be interested in pursuing competitive gymnastics. The focus of pre-team is mainly conditioning and flexibility. Pre-Team members will also have the opportunity to participate in an Exxcel Meet with basic routines. Boys between the ages of 4 and 7 will be recommended to pre-team if they have good form and execution of basic gymnastics skills.
Boys Team 3
Our Boys Team 3 program is designed for athletes who are progressing through the USA Gymnastics Development Program and ready to expand their foundation of strength, flexibility, and coordination. At this level, gymnasts transition from beginner skills to more advanced routines, developing confidence and control across all six men’s artistic gymnastics apparatuses: Floor Exercise, Pommel Horse, Still Rings, Vault, Parallel Bars, and Horizontal Bar. Boys at Level 3 focus on mastering core movements such as cartwheels, backward handsprings, casting, and controlled ring and pommel horse elements. Training emphasizes discipline, strength, and consistency while introducing structured routines that prepare gymnasts for future competitive opportunities.
Boys Level 4 – 6
Boys involved in our team programs meet twice a week and practice for a total of 4 hours. Parents of boys that appear to have the gymnastic ability and attitude will be contacted by the head coach to discuss the commitment. These team members compete under the guidelines of the USA Gymnastics Junior Olympic Nation Program. They train and compete in all six Olympic apparatus events: vault, parallel bars, high bar, still rings, pommel horse and floor exercise. Boys Team members travel to local, regional and nationwide competitions.
