Guess what book I am reading....

      I don't have a lot of free time, but when I do, I like to start a search for a new book to read. So the other day I was visiting a website called Cheer Chaos ( http://www.cheerchaos.com )  which I am a contributor for and read about a book that Eric J Moran had written called "Welcome To MintLand". This book is about a 2014-2015 Stingray Allstars mini team called Peppermint with a great personality, determination, and one amazing season!  I won't give too much away about this story but check this book out and tell me what you think! :-)

What cheer competitions have you really enjoyed competing in the most? 
 we loved competing at Athletic Championships in Minneapolis. The overall feel of the even really energized our athletes and fans! It is a great event that never disappoints, always on time and the wonderful coaches gifts don't hurt either.

What championship or placement are you most proud of at your gym? 
We had two teams attend the inaugural D2 Summit! Our Junior 1 was honored with a paid bid. We are extremely proud of these athletes for all their hard work!

What is something your would like our readers to know about your gym? 
One of the more unique things about our gym is we are the only all-star program within a 2+ hour radius. While this means no direct gym competition (and no cheer gym hoppers) it also means we build up every athlete in house. When we opened our doors less than 5% of our athletes had any stunting or gymnastics experience.
