All-Star School Of Cheer (all Star)

..... JUST cheerleading?!

"live2cheer10"... Ironic.

Bahah, guess you got me there. In my defense, I've been using this name since 8th grade?

that would be so cool!! but realistically it would be hard to make it a possibility

I really don't think it would, but then again our education systems might be set up differently so it might be easier over here.
We'd need a sponsor and the approval of the local council, have to hire teachers (well obviously not a music teacher *cough*), custodial staff and office staff. But they can be the same ones that run the gym, just expand their respective offices. We've had many a dream conversation about this at our gym and the reality is a lot closer than we think. We have the building and it wouldn't need any adapting - that is the biggest hurdle and pot of money straight away. Block rotations between 'school' and 'gym' would be easy to manage on a timetable, we don't have a cafeteria but we have plenty of land to build on.

Can you tell we have seriously thought this one out...??? We can't do it right now as we are only in our first year of complete ownership of the whole sports centre (it used to be council run) but in the future it is a distinct possibility for us :)

Hodiestoe our acro girls spend a week sleeping in the gym and training each summer, from October we'll have our new gym that will actually have proper showers and a room for them to sleep in and they love the thought they could just move in for the summer, I however have a life outside them albeit a very limited one and am not such a fan of this idea lol
They have always said that if acro was made an Olympic sport they would all home school so they could be in the gym all the time (we have a couple of families in different disciplines who do home school thats were they got the idea). They also pointed out we have 5 qualified teachers on staff so they could just help if they got stuck.
I don't see it being a reality for us as far as cheer or acro is concerned but I did it for dance and even when I left full time dance school and moved back home I had a 6am ballet class before I got the bus to school at 8.10 so I know where they're coming from

kkinsley The reality is not there for us and probably never will be, it is all pie in the sky thinking. I know City of Liverpool Gymnastics and Trampolining do a half day school programme where the kids go to regular school for half the day and then train at the gym for the other half. They do limited GCSEs in most cases (which I don't like) but are able to have some evening time free as all their rec and development squads are then. I like your idea of them sleeping at the gym in the holidays...hmmmm maybe we could do something like that over the summer, we have the room and the showers so it is a possibility, thanks for the idea.
The reason we can make it a reality if we really wanted to is because we train trampoline and gymnastics and have international level athletes in those disciplines, the cheer could jsut be part of the whole rather than it being a school for cheer. Right now though we are just managing to run the centre properly and that has to be our focus for now.

Our owner brought this up to me a few years back for our upper level Acro and all stars. We never pursued it but I'm a former teacher so we did consider it briefly.

DO IT! Want a music teacher?? ;)

I would enroll my daughter so fast if it was available here. We are looking for every option to get out of public school anyway.

We'd only accept qualified music teachers with a bad a$$ English accent!
