All-Star Oldest Gym?

[coachlex1019]

Cheer Illinois Athletics started in 1995, I believe, as Diamond Allstars. Their senior teams were originally called Cheer X. I think they officially switched the name to Cheer Illinois Athletics when they moved to a new facility.

I would guess this is the third decade they have technically been running during (90s, 00s, 10s) but not actually 30 years

Someone already pointed that out. Total duh moment on my part!

I am almost sure CEA started in 1994. ( 15 years to make this VO in 2009 ;) )

WFAS (Wake Forest All Stars) was part of a gymnastics program. They did rec teams first then went All-Stars about 11 years ago. Sadly our program disbanded this year under new management :(
Looking for a new program.

Are we confusing the current Pro Cheer with the old red/black/white Pro Cheer from Kansas?

Andre just said that pro cheer in ga started he thought in 92 so I went with that.

We started in Plano, moved to Richardson, then Garland, then Dallas, then Garland again, then back to Plano.

I don't mean to sound completely stupid when I ask this, I'm a typical British California boy.

How far are those places from eachother?

Same area, basically. All of the gyms have been within 10 miles of each other.

I meant was HE confusing them. Pro Cheer (KS) used to dominate large coed in the early-mid 1990s. They were the original powerhouse. They were probably the first all star team that was better than the best HS team at the time. In 1997, our large coed was the first team to ever outscore them, I think.

NEO Allstars from Ohio was founded in 1992!

No. I was on the Kansas City version and remember my coach saying a Georgia version starter the same season.

We did this one time before on the boards years ago and the final conclusion was Greensboro.

Is the Greensboro date confirmed? CAC is definitely 1990 but we were always told GAC opened just months before Charlotte. Maybe it was one of those stories that kept circulating but never confirmed.

I'm guessing Cheer Station was 1994 or before because they won NCA (Sr prep) in 1995 - that's the earliest they appear on the NCA Wall of Famee
