Stingrays: From Waffle House To World Titles
Stingrays: From Waffle House To World Titles
The Stingrays Allstars started as a late night discussion at a Waffle House and has now grown to become one of the most successful all star programs in the world!
You know the name, but do you know how the Stingray Allstars legacy was started? The one-of-a-kind program has now grown from one to four gym locations throughout the country! You can find a Stingrays gym in three locations. Georgia -- Marietta, Johns Creek, and Cartersville -- and one in Naples, Florida.
The Stingrays will have 25 full-year teams and 10-plus all star prep teams during the 2017-2018 season. There are approximately 35 coaches that will be leading the Stingray teams to success this year and they are second to none.

Gym owners Casey Jones and Roger Schonder came up with a plan to create a "one-of-a-kind" program that put equal emphasis on all teams and all levels. This is something some larger gyms lack in their business/sport model.

Casey gives credit to many strong coaches and staff members who have been vital to the success of the Stingrays. The mission that the program looks to achieve year after year is to create an environment where a young athlete will learn the value of teamwork, commitment and hard work.
