All-Star Usa All Stars In Richmond Has Closed

[AndrewSky]

Wow. Heartbreaking, and shocking. :(

I agree...Donnie is one of the most passionate and "dare to be different" individuals I know in regards to cheerleading. I wish him and the families effected the best of luck in their endeavors.

Very sad news! But amazing that fame is allowing late tryouts!

Where did the athletes all go?

I think there has been quite a bit of growth down there as well as NOVA/DC/MD area. Truly impressed with how this was handled, by both USA and FAME.

We welcome any USA athletes into our FAME family. The goal here is to give all these athletes a place to continue to do what they are passionate about. Thank you to the FAME owners for making this an easy transition for them.

Phil Logan and Donnie are both class acts. This is how to handle a sad situation professionally.

How sad, good luck to everyone in finding a new cheer home, I always enjoyed watching these teams at competitions. Also, good luck to the owners and coaches, keep coaching, find a new home, and inspire more athletes. Stay Strong!

What a loss for the Richmond cheer world. But I'm glad to see Donnie handling it with such grace and his letter was very well written. And to FAME, again showing what a class act program they are.

no, not us. I think this gym is from VA?

USA Allstars is located in Richmond VA and has been for pretty much as long as I remember. Really sad to see this program go, for a few years there they had some of the most innovative and flashy choreography and routines around.

Seeing how gracefully USA is handling this makes it more sad. I don't know much about the gym but it seems like it would have been a great place to be. Kudos to them and Fame for being classy and handling this well, though! And good luck to all the families and staff trying to find a new home.

 

[Fameous MOM]

So proud to be a part of the Fame family. USA was our best competition here in Richmond. I am sad to see this happen and look foward to seeing some come over.

They should write a book, honestly. There are WAY too many shady gym owners out there that suddenly shut down the gym & program and run away with all the cash and go M.I.A. I would know because it happened to me and my family, our gym owner had a field day with our credit card number. I feel terrible to see such amazing people lose their program this way, but when tragedies like this happen, THIS is the way to do it. Kudos to you, and best of wishes to you in the future.
