Excel Gymnastics leaves Batavia, to new larger home in Geneva

We are excited to formally announce the renovation of our new gymnastics and cheer-leading facility with an anticipated opening date around June, 2012. The new facility will be located in Geneva, Illinois. Our walls will be shared with the Geneva Eye Clinic directly across from the current Fox Valley Orthopedics North Campus on Soderquist Ct.

The new Excel Gymnastics and All-star Rebels will utilize a 20,000 square foot facility with over 18,000 square feet of functional space, multiple sets of equipment for all programs, expanded rooms for events and parties, large observation hall for maximized viewing space and traffic flow and newly constructed parking lot with multiple exits.

We are excited to have the opportunity to make this facility available to you, our athletes, our families, and future families. The service structure will provide all recreational cheer and gymnastics programs, as well as expanded competitive programs. Within the gymnastics and cheer community we can now fulfill the many requests for a continuum of athletic development and larger space. We will continue the same outstanding programs that have helped us to grow to great levels and move us into what will be a special experience in the new Excel Gymnastics Academy in Geneva, Illinois.

GIJO FAQ

Coach Eugene — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:28:01 +0000

GIJO Frequently Asked Questions and Requirements. Click on any Question to show our Answer.

1.What should they wear in the gym?

Girls must wear a leotard. Hair longer than shoulder length must be tied away from the face. No jewelry should be worn into the gym.

2. How often will they come to practice?

There will be two days minimum to practice. Level 2 and 3 practice for 3 total a week. Level 4 and up, must fill at least 4 hours a week, with an optional Friday Practice of 2 hours.

3.How much more money is it? And how do we pay?

It is actually cheaper per hour to be on the team, about half that of Rec classes. Tuition rates are available by request. Payment can be on a auto-payment system, or paid manually over the phone, or in person.

4.What the heck do these levels mean?

USAGymnastics is the national program to train our youth into the Elite Gymnast you see in the Olympic Training Facility. USAG begins with pre-teams, start at Level 1, and as the child progresses, they will move to each level up to Level 10. Most Level 10 gymnast have a chance to see NCAA competition. Or, they train Elite, to try to represent America as a member of the National Team. Each USAG Level has specific skill requirements, that become harder as they move up. It takes a year or two to move up a Level in GIJO or USAG.

5. Why GIJO?

USAG is the National Program, what is GIJO?
A: The GIJO Program stands for Greater Illinois Junior Olympic program.
It was created for gymnast in Illinois (one of the biggest states for gymnastics), to provide quality gymnastics, less hours, FAR LESS cost for meets and training, and contain an element that USAG training has started to lose… Fun!
Excels’ mission for its students has always been Safe, Quality, and Fun gymnastics.
The GIJO program is an outlet for the less intense gymnast, but gives the opportunity to compete!
Gyms though out the local area have GIJO, and Excel has been participating in the Events with our Level 4 and 5 Team. Allowing your child to focus on their family, education and social life.

6.GIJO is a less intense and cost effective alternative to USAG, but what are the children learning?

Actually, all USAG requirements! GIJO has been using the USAG platform for years, but coaches have more freedom to support the gymnast in competition. Spotting, form deductions, and missing skills are considered OK at a GIJO meet. Deductions will occur, and scores will be lower for spotting and form breaks, but within reason. Your gymnast will not be crushed by judges, and awards will be given to all for participation.

7.My child has a lot going on, and will miss days during the month, how can I do make up classes?

Payments are monthly, you pay for 48 weeks of training, and receive 52 weeks of instruction. We try the best we can to accommodate for illness, injury, and family emergency. However, our make up policy stands : no make ups allowed. This team is a commitment, we hope activities and events can be scheduled around the Team. This is a year round commitment, but you can take an optional three months of time off. That time off can only be in one month segments, to be able to practice again with minimal regression of skills and conditioning.

8. What is the Level 4 and Up Team Fee?

The fee provides funds for the coaches who travel to the meets. Each meet will have a separate fee for competition, judges, staff, and awards. The fees usually cost about $35 a meet, and that goes directly to the hosting gym. The addition annual team fee Excel has charged, is strictly for coaching expenses.

9. If attending a meet, parents should call the hosting gym?

Absolutely not. Excel Gymnastics is responsible for all of your travel needs and questions regarding a local meet. Using our website and the official GIJO website should be your main form of gathering information outside of searching via search engines, Hosting gym websites, and contacting the Team Coach.
