All-Star New Gym Acquisitions 2015-2016

[DancerDude0118]

Stingray Allstars recently announced that they will be acquiring both The Devilray Allstars and The Phoenix Cheer from the 2015-2016 season onwards. Looks like the Rays are going from big to mega.

A huge congratulations on their expansion!!

Back when I cheered, Devilrays used to regularly beat Stingrays at competitions. (at least the divisions I was in) Now they are buying them. I am old.

But they also both regularly beat my team, lol

Looks like the Rays are going from big to mega.

I already considered them mega. "Only" 2 locations (up until today) but their Marietta gym has something like 8 floors. That fulfilled my definition of mega.

I guess my DevilRay pin cp got at NCA might be a rare commodity now...

They even have 3 locations, but "North" is just a gym that gives them more practice space for the Marietta gym - they don't have specific teams out of there - at least as far as I know.

I always thought stingrays already owned devilrays. Clearly I was mis-informed! I can see this being a bigger draw for the Chattanooga area kids. I knew quite a few people years ago that would make the drive for devilrays, now that it's stingrays, I can see more doing it.

Good for them.

Don't they own a gym in Alabama or am I making this up?

they bought or acquired tumblebeez at the end of last? season. judging by social media they had tryouts and then the social media accounts and gym just quietly disappeared.

hope these new locations work out better than that! taking on two at once seems a bit risky when just one didn't work, but wishing them success!

Whole different situation.

Yeah, I would be interested to hear what happened with the new location in Alabama!

But nonetheless, congrats to Rays! Such an amazing program, and I can't wait to see the new competition they put out there with this addition.

Alabama was never a purchase, but a franchise out of the name (first attempt at this). That gym was not profitable and their financials were not what they first appeared. It quietly went away because it wasn't viable.

I've always wondered what happened to the gym in Alabama, thank you for your clarification.

Congratulations to Georgia Allstars on their acquisition of Legends Elite Allstars!!

Not really an "acquisition" per say, but a new partnership between CheerVille Athletics and Intrigue Athletics. Congratulations to both on their new partnership!!
