Cheer Athletics currently holds 32 worlds medals out of one location. THAT IS INSANE! I mean they have athletes at that gym that have gotten a worlds ring every year since Worlds has existed! The closest gym to them would be California Allstars with 19 medals but thats like from 4 locations, Cheer Extreme with 18 medals from multiple locations, then Gymtyme & Stingrays with 15 medals from one location. I remember back when worlds was still a baby, it was Cheer Athletics & Stingrays going head to head for gym with the "Most worlds medals" but then Stingrays fell behind when CA started bringing talented teams in almost every division!

My question is do you think these gyms don't really care to catch Cheer Athletics and actually fight for the top spot as the most successful cheer gym in the world?! Aside from their senior teams, Cheer Athletics puts a lot of effort into their open teams. Stingrays always throws together an open team at the last minute and they never really place and Gymtyme's main focus appears to be their open teams. If I was a gym owner I would want to make Cheer Athletics WORK to stay at the top. In my opinion Cheer Athletics is sitting pretty at the top of the Allstar totem pole looking down at everyone else run in a fruitless race....
 
I don't think that the main concern should be gaining the top spot on the most Worlds medal list because honestly it's hard to top such a high number of medals and being that many successful gyms didn't become powerhouse gyms until recently, it is hard gain enough Worlds medals to top a gym who has been good since day one.

Hmmm, this makes sense! I guess I never stepped back and looked at it this way. I guess it would be hard to catch up to them now being that they are so far ahead and they don't appear to be letting up anytime soon. I do think however that Cheer Extreme, California, & Stingrays will increase their worlds medal count this season. I believe they all will be taking 3 or more teams to worlds this year.
 
I love Cheer Athletics and think they are amazing, but I don't agree with "they're so far ahead" necessarily. They may have the highest medal count, but they are not sweeping every division, every year, with a 100 pt lead. Think back to World's, yes, they won medals, but they were not all gold. I don't think they go on the mat expecting a win. They work their hiney's off.

Like I said, I love Cheer Athletics and I do think they are one of the best programs. I just think there's a big difference between 32 medals, and 32 gold medals. (Not that anyone's medals are all gold)
 
If USASF goes through with their plan of adding more divisions to Worlds, medals and titles will start becoming much easier to obtain. We certainly don't assume that our standing at the top of this particular count is "safe."

NOTE: The number of top finishes at any one particular event is not necessarily a good indicator of much. Judge a program more by the type of lessons they are teaching and how they treat their athletes/families.
 
Cheer athletics is amazing and other gyms will probably try to keep up/top some of their teams they compete against, but I doubt any gym goes into worlds saying "ok all our teams goals are to make top 3 so we can be one year closer to beating CA's record!" Although I don't see anyone topping their worlds medal count anytime soon.
 
i highly doubt any other program cares what cheer athletics medal count is. some gyms just want the kids to have fun, others set goals of making NCA or day 2 at worlds, and others just want to place in the top 3 at worlds, etc. each program has a different goals. Cheer Athletics has been around for almost 20 years now, plus they are in the biggest state of the US, which may or may not play a factor in the number of athletes they bring in over the years.
 
Yes we'll I guess u can say that about the worlds team but there other teams are just as good as any other gym, I honestly think stingrays has a much more skilled program than ca, but stingrays doesn't have as much worlds teams though last year so ya!

I agree with you, we had our first worlds team in 2012 and made it and did well, this year we placed higher. . our goal is to make it and do better and place higher next year. Each gym and teams have their own individual goals. We will never be in the ranks of the " big gyms."

Unnecessary and disrespectful.
Neither gym is more skilled than the other. Each gym has there strengths and certainly both have their weaknesses.

This is my opinion and I'm not saying I hate ca or anything like that, I am sorry if it came out rude I strongly apologize! But I am aloud to express my feelings on the fb
