WAG Program Descriptions

All competitive artistic requirements for levels are set by Alberta Gymnastics Federation and Gymnastics Canada and follow the FIG, CCP, and XCEL Code of Points. Pegasus Gymnastics WAG program is structured around these requirements allowing athletes to progress through the levels.
The program is a year-round commitment.

High-Performance Stream

The High-Performance categories are Youth, Novice, Junior, and Senior. The goal of this stream is to qualify for the Canadian National Team. Gymnasts must train 25+ hours per week. Competitions will require athletes to travel all over North America, and in some cases all over the world. This path requires extreme dedication, family commitment to the program, time management, proper nutrition, and access to additional athlete resources. The expectation of this program are high as the name suggests. The goal for High-Performance Stream athletes is to become the best of the best, achieved by a strong relationship between the coach, athlete and parent.

Canadian Competitive Program - Compulsory and Optional

Compulsory and Optional athletes compete in levels 3-10 of the Canadian Competitive Program (CCP), formerly known as JO (Junior Olympic Program). Levels 3-5 are the Compulsory program; Levels 6-10 are the Optional levels. Training hours are typically 12+ hours per week but vary depending on the level. The goal of this program is to qualify for Provincial Championships, Western Canadian Championships, Canadian National Championships, and Canada Winter Games.

Xcel Stream

The Xcel program is a USAG program which just started in Canada in 2019. Xcel is an alternative track to the CCP 1-8 program and offers gymnasts the opportunity to perform optional routines, instead of the compulsory CCP 3-5 program. Pegasus uses Xcel alongside our compulsory program as an additional route to get to Level 6 and higher. In Xcel, there are a large number of skill choices to fulfill the routine requirements.

Pegasus offers the following Xcel levels, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. These levels will have a range of training schedules from 8-20 hours per week depending on the age and level. Xcel athletes will have the opportunity to compete at Invitational Meets and Provincial Championship.

Developmental Team

Our Developmental gymnasts are ages 3-7, training 4-11 hours per week. The purpose of this program is to encourage a love for the sport, develop physical literacy, spatial awareness, coordination, strength, flexibility, discipline, and basic gymnastics. This requires family commitment to the program, and time management. We aim to have athlete prepared for any of our competitive streams when exiting our developmental program. Gymnasts will participate in 2 showcase events for family to see their progress. The commitment of this program is typically 10 months September-June with summers off for athletes ages 3-6 and a 12-month commitment for ages 6 – 7.
