What is Excel’s International Program?

Excel’s International Program provides select athletes ages 14 through 17 an opportunity to train and compete internationally.  Excel is developing relationships with competitive clubs around the world.  We refer to these clubs as “Sister Clubs”.  Excel works with our Sister Clubs to create opportunities for both clubs to visit each other’s countries.
