JOIN BRANCH GYMNASTICS FOR A WEEKEND OF COMPETITION AND CAMARADERIE

Branch Gymnastics hosted its first Cereal City Classic in 1995. At the time, it was the first ever gymnastics competition to host both men’s and women’s youth gymnastics within the same event. This gave clubs the ability to travel to a meet with their entire program; both men’s and women’s teams! Due to the success and reception of the meet, hosting both men’s and women’s competition at the same event is now a common practice!
Cereal City Classic is hosted in Battle Creek, MI each year, the cereal capital of the world and headquarters of Kellogg’s.

WHO’S READY TO BE CROWNED THE BEST!

The Crown Cheer and Dance Championships was founded in 2016 by Kevin Spencer. The goal was to provide a great event with innovative awards, fair judging, family fun atmosphere and great customer service. All of this, while focusing on keeping everything affordable. The Crown has continued to grow tremendously each season by sticking to these core values.
In late 2020, Emmitt Tyler joined Kevin as partners in The Crown. Our hope is that Emmitt’s experience partnered with Kevin’s passion will help create a new industry standard that will benefit athletes, coaches and parents alike. The Crown has exploded and had their best season to date despite dealing with the Covid pandemic.
In early 2021, Emmitt and Kevin created the Royal Events Group which The Crown is proud to be a part of. Moving forward, Royal Events will continue to hold true to the original core values that built The Crown Cheer and Dance to it’s prominence. So when you come to The Crown or any Royal event, expect the ROYAL treatment!
