Welcome to our Cheerleading Community

Members see FEWER ads... join today!

Our tuition is 150 per month x 11 = 1650
Team fund (comp fees) 250 x 7 = 1750
Uniforms = 400
Practice wear =107
Warm ups = 150
Misc bows = 30
Allstars membership = 30
Stunt class = 400(for whole season)

Total without travel = 4517

We travel out of town twice this season (not including summit)

Charlotte

Hotel = 371.34
Food = 150
Comp entrance = 40
Gas = 100

Myrtle Beach
Hotel = 208.74
Food = 150
Comp entrance = 40
Gas =100

Total = 792.60

Grand total = 5309.60 I'm pretty sure it's more....
 
The first year we attended Cheersport and stayed at the Ritz Carlton the rate was $189/night pre STP. The next year started STP and the same room was $285. This was with a gym block.
 
Monthly fee (including tumble classes, they offer three a week) $345 x 12= 4140
Practice wear $325
Practice bows (optional) $100
Uniform $400
Team jacket $200
CP did private flyer tryout that was $175 but the normal price for this is 75.
Misc (comp bow, usasf fee, gym registration) $90
I believe we will have three travel comps (2 drivable, 1 flight) not including summit.

Total without travel:
$5430
 
For $499 I expect a penthouse suite with a spa, a king size bed, free wifi/breakfast/parking and a butler.

The stay to play "spin". Sorry, it's not a better deal for families no matter how they try to color it. At least not the way it is being handled for cheer comps.

Fun fact- 2 years ago in Dallas a couple of families checking out of the Omni and were handed the list of charges. Apologies were forthcoming when they explained they had pre paid. What was quite telling was the 100$ less per night room cost listed on bill vs what they had paid through STP.

We did much better when allowed to negotiate room blocks for our own teams (and even got free coaches rooms thrown in) The cheer version of STP as a "money saver" "better rates" "convenience" is a sham!

Also, gyms (disclaimer - not all) have figured out that uniforms, practice clothes, bows, tshirts, etc. are a great way to pad their profit. Sure some of that upcharge you're paying is being used to cover the costs of the items for kids who pay nothing (scholarships) but trust me, there's a reason for the increase in new uniforms, practice wear packages, backpacks etc. There's a good profit margin there and yes, crazy cheer parents are willing to fork it over without batting an eye. Ask to see an invoice sometime ;)

Interesting and a must read

What does your monthly fee include? Practices and tumbling?
 
When I sit down and tabulate my daughter's 3rd season attending all those prestigious competitions.
I have to disagree with your statement....I get back to this discussion because I am checking my financial records from 2013-2014 and I will compare the difference in cost without STP to my family ....BRB


That would be appreciated! Make sure to just do hotels and if possible show hotel cost per city for both years. That would really be telling.

2013 NCA preSTP stayed at Sheraton $99.0/per night stayed 3 nights (Friday-Sunday) included breakfast. Food estimated $150.(lunch&dinners)
2014 Hyatt
PreSTP gym room block $229 per night - 3 nights
2015 Hyatt STP- prepaid
$279/NIGHT+8% tax & forced to stay 4 nights (Friday-Monday)
No I'm just curious. We had someone show that their prices increased about 5k over 4 years mostly because of STP. I'm just trying to gauge where others are at.
