It all began with a dream. A little girl who at the age of 3 fell in love with the sport of cheerleading. She cheered 10 years with youth cheer, 4 years of high school, 5 years of college, and 2 years of allstar. She coached youth for 4 years and then had the dream of opening her own allstar cheerleading organization.
Her parents, wishing to make her dream a reality, stood beside her and made that dream a reality.
Majestic Allstars opened December, 2013, in a very small building, before moving to its larger present location. Athletes came and went, most of whom remain in contact with their head coach.
Majestic always remained a very small gym located in the Central California Valley, with ALL of the focus on the athletes. The gym was meant to act as their second home, keep them off the streets and busy learning the crazy sport of cheer. Coaches would help them with homework, listen to their daily troubles, whether at home, school or with friends.
Majestic earned 9 National Titles, 6 Open Championship titles, and numerous regional championships. The most prized was winning 4 Sportsmanship awards for the gyms showmanship and sportsmanship displayed towards other gyms and other athletes.
Their most prestigious award was receiving 4 bids to the Largest cheerleading competition for small gyms, the D2 Summit held in Florida, where they competed amongst gyms from all states Coast to Coast. And the small gym from Central California held their own against everyone else in Florida, scoring very high and landing above the 50% threshold.
On May 30, 2019, Majestic is turning off the lights and closing their doors for the final time as a gym.
But the memories will always remain; the laughter and goofiness shared inside the gym walls will linger forever.
Lifelong friendships have been formed and will continue, not only among the athletes, but also with the parents.
The final dream is that all of the athletes who cheered for this small gym will look back at their times in the gym with fond memories that make them smile and laugh.
Thank you Shannon Finn for sharing your dream and opening the business of allstar cheerleading. I know that this has been the most difficult decision you’ve ever made. You have touched so many lives and affected so many. You have literally coached with athletes hugging you or sitting on your shoulders. You are an amazing person with a heart so huge that you gave willingly to every athlete.
You did it baby girl!!! Your dream was successful. And your Dad and I are so very very proud of you. It will hurt for a while, but while the pain will subside, those happy memories will take their place. So keep that crown on your head and just know that dreams really do come true
