Several years ago, USAG introduced an alternative to the traditional Junior Olympic (JO) now renamed USA Gymnastics Development National Program path, a route most competitive gymnasts take. In 2013, USAG created the Xcel Gymnastics program describing it as "a broad-based, affordable, competitive experience outside the traditional Junior Olympic program.”

The highly anticipated American Classic will feature junior and senior gymnasts competing at the elite level, as well as the Hopes Classic with 11-14 year-old gymnasts who intend to be elite one day.

Here's how to watch the 2021 Region 4 Women's Xcel Championships on FloGymnastics.
