We\u2019re able to add additional teams this coming year, and we\u2019ll have a CheerABILITIES team coming back to our program. We\u2019ll be able to offer different clinics and do more with the community because of the bigger space,\u201d said Hughes.<\/p>\n<p>The open house gave families, athletes, community members and local officials a chance to tour the new facility, meet coaches and see athletes during the event.<\/p>\n<p>Hughes said World Cup Scranton offers cheerleading, tumbling, novice and all-star cheerleading, and training for recreation and high school programs. The facility also hosts camps, clinics and choreography programs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldcupallstars.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">World Cup All Stars<\/a> was established in 1994 and has locations in New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, Louisiana and Maryland, in addition to Scranton.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldcupallstars.com\/locations\/scranton-pa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">visit World Cup Scranton\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA CO.
