.... hmmm ... How fun! I like "Chower" the best! (Pronounced like Shower!)

I would like to see Cheergyms.com and Power stay separate and continue to flourish. That would give even more athletes an opportunity to cheer.

I think that is best as well, if they merge then on certain levels where would the competiton be? There are only certain teams that can even touch Power and Cheer Gyms on a competitive level.

Mergers can be to keep a business open due our horrible economy or to make the teams stronger as it seems like Socal has done the past two or three seasons BUT it may in the end not work out if you have two owners who are use to having their "own" gym now have to compromise on certain business decsions. I think mergers can work if they are well thought out and if the clients (meaning the parents since they are the ones who pay for the hefty cheer dues) are kept in the loop and things are not so secretive like there is something to hide (not at all saying they should have say in how the business is run or need to know everything about the business) but it's the secrecy that seems with parents that has seemed to lead to problems when they were not given all of the details upfront so they could make and informed decision on which team to place their child on.

One of the main reasons we chose not to do AS this year and wait one more year was because we needed more time to look into what was true and what wasn't. One gym we were considering for our daughter told us a great deal to reel us in, but when we started looking at things more closely most if not all of what we were told was a flat out lie. So that gym is absolutely on the no list for next season when she signs up.

There was more than one merger in Norcal there have been a few and I wish them all the best of luck. I know one in particular that lost kids this season due to the merger just not working out well in the first year and parents being really unhappy. A number of those girls chose to go to "smaller" gyms that didn't have all the drama involved with merging and business parnters not being on the same page.


I don't know if now merging would help bring gyms out of the red in Norcal so maybe that is why certain ones have chosen to close. Another reason is maybe they took on larger gyms then they really needed and got into trouble that way. Two gyms come to mind that did that and have closed or are in the process of closing. When enrollment was low they needed to rent to space to cover expenses but that ended up not working out either as they were still in the red.

There aren't any gyms that come to mind in Norcal that I think "oh that would be GREAT if those two gyms merged." I kind of like the smaller gyms that can devote more time to their athletes instead of saying we have 200 cheerleaders in our gym and don't really know them well. JMO
