U.S. National Team stats

I often think the huge American competitive program should produce rare talents from unexpected places. Yet surprisingly few clubs in 2011 want to try, and are able to develop, athletes for international competition.

For Junior and Senior Women’s National Team:

All 32 National Team Members Come from Only 19 Gyms

Half (50%) of the National Team Members Come from Only 5 Gyms

… WOGA Gymnastics, Cincinnati, Gymnastics Great American Gymnastics Express (GAGE), Legacy Elite Gymnastics and Texas Dreams …

About a quarter come from the Dallas/Ft.Worth area.

There are just a handful of coaches producing most of the National Team. Most have immigrated to the States.

Those stats come from a post on Gymnastics Zone – US National Team Elite Gym Stats

The list is already out of date. Nastia (WOGA) and Amanda Jetter (Cincinnati) were re-named to National team recently, but it only makes the concentration of top talent even more obvious.
