Troy Brown: Head Coach

Teaching gymnastics with great enthusiasm, motivation and knowledge, Coach Troy Brown has been in the sport for 14 years. He spent 6 of those years under the direction of the legendary Olympic coach, Bela Karolyi. Troy's vast experience ranges from managing gymnastics programs, directing nationally attended summer camps and hosting clinics in Texas, California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Indiana, and Nebraska.

Troy believes in teaching children life lessons. He recognizes that their time spent in the sport of gymnastics is only a small piece of the puzzle in life's big picture. His goal is to show kids that if you truly believe in something, you can achieve anything. He inspires children to develop the heart of a lion and to realize that their success is not achieved by ability alone, but through hard work and dedication. His energy is contagious and children of all ages remember their time spent in his recreational and team programs.
