Parents Royal Gymnastics.. what's the magic sauce?

[GymDad00]

What's going on at Royal Gymnastics in Northern California? They seem to producing what looks like future olympians in large numbers! They appear to be only less than 10 years old and every girl in optionals is dominating and their form is impeccable. Kudos to the magic... any idea the style of coaching where the owner / coaches came from... and are they considering expanding this coaching to other cities?! wow!

Did you see them at Vegas?

Caveat that this is not to discount the athletes’ hard work or the coaching at all, but I have thoughts:

This is not a gym where anyone van have a shot at DP. From what I understand, they have really strict requirements about moving through compulsories and on to optionals, so their gymnasts are more hand-picked than the vast majority of gyms. They repeat many girls at 3 or 4 until they get 38s, and lose more girls after level 4 than the average gym. Lots of half-day or homeschoolers. Super productive environment for fast-tracked, future Hopes or Elites, but I’m guessing their optionals athletes have a level of above-average talent even among their peers and would have succeeded at any gym. It seems like Melia O’Quinn has attracted in a lot of upper optionals from other gyms in the past 2-3 years but they have homegrown 6s and 7s and some baby upper optionals.

It will be interesting to see if they can sustain their success with their homegrown athletes at the elite level.

Sounds a bit like the MG elite model

I wound say Airborne is the strongest gym in the area - with several other strong programs. Stiff competition does push everyone to be better.

Waiting to see what Ty's dad has to say....
