North Metro Elite Cheer (NMEC) announced they are now Rockstar Cheer Atlanta. Gym owner Carolyn Garrison made the announcement in a meeting for gym families on Monday, March 7 to a packed house. Garrison shared that the decision was made after many months of careful research and consideration by both parties.
 
Founded in 2013, NMEC gym has always had a goal of treating their athletes like family with the motto, “One Family One Goal.” New to the cheer scene, this small gym has been building their program with several significant wins and a recent Summit bid during the current competitive season. However, a new, small gym has relatively limited resources when it comes to accessing top choreographers, elite coaching and complex strategies. The competition cheer industry has an increasingly sophisticated structure, and the synergy that is created when gyms join together creates a more efficient approach to their season. Garrison wants her teams to be able to compete more on the national cheer industry stage, and she sees this move as a way to get there.
 
Finding a gym that shared her commitment to a “family atmosphere” was a challenge. Garrison says, “I wanted a gym that treated their athletes and their families the exact same way. And when I went and watched their practices, and watched their kids, I felt like I was standing in my own gym with different coaches. And that is when I knew my kids were talented enough to be on the same stage with this winning gym. I want to know what they know, and I want access to their training, choreography, music and the data they have from their years of experience. I want that for my teams.” She says  Rockstar Cheer  owner Scott Foster was receptive to that.
 
Rockstar Cheer owner Scott Foster says their organization was interested in finding a partner in the Atlanta area as the teams here are very strong. There were other gyms that approached him, but the fit just wasn’t there. “In our model, we are not buying out gyms and taking them over. It doesn’t work well unless we have good, strong relationships with the gym owners. We have to have a shared vision.” With North Metro, the fit was right.
