All-Star Oldest Gym?

[RS_Amie]

I had no idea! For some reason I had it in my head that nothing really happened here until 2000- clearly I was wrong :p

I always moan that I'm jealous of the minis that can start so young because I never had that option. When really I did, I just didn't know anything about it.

Same! If I'd started tumbling when I was 5... :rolleyes: Although I don't think there was anything near where I was living until this year until 2008 (1 hour away), then end of 2011 (half hour away). Do you know of any more old gyms in the UK? I'm quite interested now!

Gold Star has been around since 1999 according to the results on their website. I'd imagine a lot of the older teams have merged or changed their names. Blackpool Scorpions started in 2001 under a different name etc. Personally I'm just happy to cheer at one of the oldest UK All star gyms :p.

Georgia has a few old ones.

TECHNICALLY Pro cheer ga started in 1992 just under the name cheer tech.

force elite 1994
middle georgia allstars 1997
cheer south 1998

When did they start going by Pro Cheer? THAT should be their start date for the purposes of this list, IMO.

Not sure if you wanted to include international teams, but from their website Ascension Eagles Cheerleaders started in November 1996.
Rising Star's website says they started August 1996 under that name, but I can't see whether that's also when they started competing. Maybe someone else on here knows a bit more?

I believe that NEO Allstars in Ohio were established in 1991.

We started in 1992 lol. I've cheered there for 10 years!
