It is no secret that Shooting Stars is their premier team. You have to be invited to tryout for the team but don't have to be invited to tryout for any other team. I say hey, whatever tickles their fancy. It will only make more room in their main gym for the other teams (IF IT IS TRUE THAT IT IS JUST FOR STARS).
Silly how people are talking about favortism but the only other teams being talked about getting their own gym are the other level 5 teams in the gym. What about all the other teams that will eventually fill those level 5 teams? Come on people many people on here don't even know anything about WC's other teams so don't go running favortism.

I mean yeah that is their main team, we all know that. I'm not trying to be like "Grr those stupid stars!" I would say the same thing for any other team. If Stingrays Orange got that or Georgia Louies, any level 5 team who did this would get the same comment from me. It's just a little out there that they would get a gym named after them or for them whatever they are doing with this new building. I wish they did something a little more generic. So like, Susie's Arena (for lack of a creative name) and maybe a section dedicated to SS.

I don't think it's really big enough for a section to be named..From what I've heard it's a performance space for all the teams, and there was something to do with alumni, especially stars alumni. Maybe it was financed by them, or something along those lines? Anyway no one really knows whats the deal, except for Mrs. P and the rest of the staff at this point.

Understand the history of World Cup and what built the program to be what it is today. It took the vision of an ex baskatball coach and 16 girls to create one team and they were called the Shooting Stars, which in turn created the multitude of teams the gym has today. That is why it is called the "Shooting Star Arena" Sentimental reasons ONLY. Yes the Shooting Stars will be practicing out of that arena but so will other teams as well as clinics.

ITA... before I read that all I could think was "wow, that's a HUGE financial investment for one team. Wonder what's going to happen to their tuition next year" lol

I really hope that's not true. If I were on ANY other team in that gym, level 5 or not, I would be incredibly upset. Why make everybody else feel like second class citizens? I also, don't like that you have to be invited to even try out. On the other hand, I think it's a great idea to have for showcases, to host other teams, and to practice before comps (especially for little ones to get the feel of the lights and loud music)

I understand the concern that having a gym named the Shooting Star arena would make other athletes feel inferior but it is actually a very positive and motivating adjustment. Like "NoOneSpecIal" said, The entire World Cup program was started by the very first team, "The Shooting Stars", and they were not nearly as talented as today. World Cup is a gym where every athlete is appreciated and I think it is wonderful to dedicate a gym to such excellence and tradition that started from day One. Shooting Stars are not only World Famous and Idolized, but they were the very start of the World Cup Program. I see it as an act of Tradition and continuing a Dynasty. ;-)

I dont think it would be financially correct to build a entire new gym for just shooting stars. The other gym had a crammed lobby as it was, so it would make alot more sense for shooting stars to be able to use this gym. That takes 36 girls plus parents and coaches out of the lobby, opens up a floor for another team, allows stars to be able to focus more on themselves, allows other teams who wouldnt be able to focus on their own team to have alone time and most importantly, is 25 steps away so its easy to go back and forth.
