Royal Elite All Star Cheerleading

This is the first year my girls are at this gym. They love it and the coaches are welcoming, communicate well, and treat the girls and I with respect. I have seen major tumbling and confidence growth in both of them…and they are having a blast and meeting some great friends. I am reading some of the negative comments given here very recently and obvious not by people who still belong to this gym and haven’t in quite some time. It almost seems like it is trolling. I just know my girls are happy- and this mama is not looking for them to win, but just have fun and grow and when they do really well, my kids are on teams with a lot of competition, it just makes the experience that much better for them.

After posting my review three days ago, the gym has clearly asked others to post positive reviews to counteract mine. That should tell you everything you need to know- that they rejected my feedback and instead had to beg people to post positive reviews instead. What a joke! After being in this program for three seasons, I wouldn’t recommend it to others. This cheer program values maximizing point values in a routine over the health and well-being of their athletes. If and when your child gets injured during the long season, instead of looking out for the well-being of your child, this program will turn their backs on them, refusing to modify a routine even just temporarily and instead will immediately remove and replace your child in the routine and give their spots to other athletes permanently. I’ve literally had the head coach ask me to not take my daughter to the medical doctor regarding her injury because they knew the doctor would pull my daughter. They would rather your child competed injured than seek medical treatment. I’ve watched so many talented athletes and families leave this program and we should have taken their advice before my daughter ended up with a recurring ankle sprain so bad, it almost needed surgery. My daughter kept going even when her body was telling her to stop because she didn’t want to get her spot taken away. This is supposed to be a child’s youth athletic program for crying out loud. It’s for children! My daughter tumbled throughout the routines and was a main base in stunts, etc. There are others on the teams who didn’t even tumble at all. But they refused to allow temporary modifications for my daughter when her ankle gave out in the middle of a routine on the first day of a two-day competition weekend. I asked the coach if they could modify the routine on day 2 but I was told that they couldn’t because that would mean they couldn’t maximize the points in the routines. My jaw almost hit the floor. My daughter was only worth points to them. It’s really sad. We didn’t join this program to win at all costs. Let’s be honest, the teams in this program are not that good. They only win when there isn’t a lot of competition and they chase bids. The most talented athletes are put on multiple teams to try and make the program seem better than it is. They aren’t bringing home national titles or anything. Lots of better gyms in the area but we joined and then stayed loyal to this team because we thought they cared about the kids. I was clearly wrong because after we finally decided to seek medical treatment for my daughter’s injury, the coach didn’t think it would be fair to my daughter or the teams to allow her to rejoin either team for finals after she would be cleared by medical to return. After three seasons, using my daughter across three teams last year and two teams this year because of her skills, thousands of dollars, countless hours in the gym, etc. they were heartless and couldn’t find a spot in a routine on either of her teams so that she could rejoin for finals? She was on the teams when they qualified for finals and should have been allowed to return. If they did it to us, they will do it to you too! Believe me, I would have much preferred that they treated my daughter right vs. having to put up this review as a warning to others. If you have a talented athlete - they will use and abuse them until they get injured and then try to convince you not to seek medical care. And worse, not modify the routine when they get hurt and treat you poorly if you seek medical care. It doesn’t make any sense to treat talented athletes this way but we aren’t the first they did this to and we won’t be the last. You should choose another gym.

Beware of this business if you want transparency. On a regular basis reviews are manipulated by the crooked management of the owners. This bate and switch method of operating makes customers feel like they are family. Only, when an issue arises they will throw you away like other situations described in reviews seen here. They don't care about your child, they only care about getting your money.

Great program! My daughter loves her teams and all her coaches! I would totally recommend this program for your child to join. 😁

Awful. Do not take your child here unless you want them to be held back. Plus treated terribly. The teams do not win much unless they have no competitors. Go somewhere else for the sake of your child and your money.
