All-Star Expansions, Openings, And Mergers For 2013-2014

[Cheergrandma]

Dang, with all these mergers and acquasitions:
1. I feel for the small gym owners. :(
2. Will we be turning out "cookie cutter" gyms ala McDonalds/Walmart (McGyms)?

Thinking aloud -
I wonder down the road, how this will impact the growth of the industry. Is there such a thing as getting too big to provide quality training to the average athlete?

I worry for competition.. Look at 3-4 years ago. In sm senior in California alone you had power, Cali elite, oc allstars, magic, pace had a sm senior,I think orange crush, cheer force diamonds. Now how many have we??

So the owners of the other locations wont be owing this one correct, just the Cheer Nation owner bought into the franchise?

That's my feeling too, we also had CA Flyers, Victory Cheer, West Coast Allstars and Fierce had a small Sr too (right?), I would love to see Fierce in all girl again.

Every comp was so exciting back then

Cali is not buying nor cal Power...all the info for powers next season is on their website. I checked . Power is however moving to the international coed division next year.

I mean there is still competition in the sm sr division in california.
Victory is still in it, Ca, Pcm, CF, I'm guessing since the split OC will be coming back with one next year. Haven't seen CA Flyers around this year but last year they had one. There was still 8 or 9 teams in the division at spirit sports.

Cali/Power would make sense as well. I really CAN NOT see Eric Contreras selling out unless he is selling the Scottsdale location and building cheer in Tucson. Kelly has "scaled" back her gym before (back in 2002) but they just got their new location and have a really successful program.

I think ACE is trying to take back all the land the tribes were removed from in the 1800s.

Well played, ACE! :D

see! that ACE in NJ rumor wasn't so far fetched after all. The Lenni Lenape tribe would like to cheer, too!

I'm reading through this and i'm like....

yes and yes!!

I think it has something to do with Cali and Desert Storm Elite. I haven't been told anything, but that's just my guess. I really have no clue, haha.

Lol, that isn't it

 

[AndrewSky]

It's not Cali Power, especially when they have a location in Livermore.

ACE just announced the opening of their 11th gym, ACE of Tuscaloosa last night.

This literally just made my day!!! I'm considering going to UA for college and I have been contemplating how I can still cheer there, cuz driving to Birmingham is too far from Tuscaloosa:P this could be perfect if I end up going there!!!

Unfortunately in these scenarios the sport does not grow. Athletes just move around.

Cheerforce San Diego will be opening up a new location also this year in west San Diego towards Del Mar/Mira Mesa area :)

We're very excited for this location!

Are the San Diego coaches coaching there? Or is there gonna be different coaches?
