All-Star Cea Chicago

CEA if you wanna enter a market that's not already saturated, feel free to come to the Philly suburbs... it's a cheerleading desert :enjoyshow:
Philla area is kinda busy because we have State, Rockstarz, and Tri-State we also have smaller ones like Victory Vipers and American Elite Allstars :p
 
My first reaction was genuine excitement, not going to lie. But maybe that is because I am from around the Chicago area! ;) However, I am not okay with the whole y5 team from ICE leaving... I mean I just can't imagine 18 parents leaving a gym then having to repay for a uniform, new music, new choreography... midway through the season. What happens if that y5 team already earned a bid to Summit or something?? (I have no clue if they did/didn't, just playing devil's advocate...)

I am all for bringing some fresh blood into the Chicagoland area, but this will definitely pose as a threat to ICE, UA, and depending on where the new CEA is located, Gymtyme IL. Not to mention the smaller gyms in Chicago and southern WI (Where I am from). My old coaches are actually already concerned. We have people from my area driving 50 plus minutes to UA, so I can see people also driving to the CEA location easily.

Curious to see where exactly the new location will be, and who exactly will be a part of it. And if they really are trying to pull off new teams for this season. Definitely will be watching this.
 
Tell me about it! Although they are getting closer to the northwest. I'm waiting for some big gym to realize how much help the northwest needs!!! (South Elite has done alright at worlds a couple of times, but besides that, we need help!)

Kind of off topic but I disagree with that comment and am actually kind of offended by it. A branded gyms does not equal winning Worlds, Summit, or even a Nationals competition. I've seen multiple PCM, Cali, CA, CEA teams not place first place. Heck, our teams even beat some of the branded/franchised gyms at PacWest or when we travel to Cali for Nationals. Do we still have a lot of progress to do? Yes - but I don't think we need a branded gym to continue making that progress

Eta I guess I can't speak for Oregon tho BC I don't follow those teams enough to speak for needing help. I'm speaking from a Washington standpoint

Agreed and I will speak from Texas, we beat many of those franchised satellite locations, and hey not just the satellite location but the main location sometimes too.

Being big doesn't mean you win, being big just means you are well known.

Sometimes they are better, sometimes you are better. It is what it is. I definitely don't look at the state of Texas and say CA is better than everyone.

I think anyone who wants to open a gym anywhere they want should be allowed to. The athletes who leave will need a waiver if they have already competed. I would not allow my CP to leave midseason unless there was an EXTREME circumstance. We have to teach our athletes about commitment and doing what is right.

I agree. People also need to realize the grass isnt always greener on the other side. Whats happens if for instance this falls apart or the kid just isnt happy there and wants to return to the old gym? What gym owner wants a kid who already showed a lack of commitment?

I saw that happen locally.

They only need a waiver to compete at worlds.
