:jawdrop:whaaaaaaaaat?!Needless to say, we can't forget that cheerleading (or sports in general) are organized completely different in other parts of the world.
The kids here in our club, pay 10 EURO a month (roughly $13-15) to be a part of the team. There are no tryouts, no minimun requirements.
Anyway, while kids can pay into hundreds of dollars a month for a cheer gym in the US, kids pay practically nothing here. Lots of stuff is financed through the club or outside sport funding etc. Part of it is actually cool, that this system exists. On the other side, I definitely miss having an amazing gym (that belongs to my team, and doesn't have to be shared with various other teams, etc.) with top equipment, a full spring floor, etc etc.
