A big cheer as teams merge
TWO CHEERLEADING teams have joined forces to create Platinum Artemis Studios.
The merger between
Artemis Cheer and Platinum Allstars brings together the two sides.
The CEOs of both organisations said they saw an opportunity to combine their strengths for the benefit of their athletes and the community.
Effective from the conclusion of the competition season in July, Artemis Cheer and Platinum Allstars will become Platinum Artemis Studios.
The alliance will bring double the coaching talent, offering a pathway for progression.
Prior to the merger, both programmes will continue to compete independently, with mutual support at events.
To celebrate the collaboration, 200 cheerleaders will have the opportunity to participate in a free, week-long workshop program during the May school holiday at Bracknell Gym.
This initiative will provide participants with the combined expertise of coaches from both side.
"This collaboration represents a new chapter for cheerleading in our community," said Lizy Bennett, programme director of
Platinum Allstars. "With a blended coaching team, we now boast the best and most qualified senior coaching team in the Bracknell and Wokingham area.
“There will be many benefits to students of Artemis, Platinum, and the local community, enabled by our combined strengths.”
Niki Robinson, CEO and founder of Artemis Cheer, said: "I am so delighted to welcome Lizy, her marvellous team, and all her athletes to be part of Artemis.
“We are very excited for the new season, and will have another big announcement soon.”
