All-Star How Small/big Is Your Gym?

[Deleted member 1556]

I

I go to a pretty small gym too less than 50 cheerleaders and only 3 teams a mini level 1 a youth level 1 and a coed 4....and no crossovers

I have you beat..I cheered at a gym once with 30 athletes and 2 teams...now that's small!

our gym's kind of small, although this year there is a lot more teams: mini 1, youth 1, junior 2, junior 4, senior coed 3, senior coed 5 and we also have satellites(half year)

Well my gym is pretty big because we merged with another cheer gym in our area so we have around 350 to 400 athletes and about 13 or 14 teams.

16 this year

My gym is pretty small with only about 60-70 athletes. We only have 3 teams. Youth 1, Youth 5, and Senior 5, but most gyms in the UK are even smaller tbh.

I'm just curious as to how many athletes/teams most programs have. How many teams and what size teams do you have? Also, do you use crossovers to create larger teams? What, in your opinion, is a "big gym"?
I personally go to probably the tiniest of tiny gyms. We have less than 50 athletes, and 2 teams. A large senior 3, and a small youth 1, both all-girl. Only 2 crossovers from youth to senior.

Ha ha! You're not the tiniest by far! My Cp's last team (she cheered there for 3 years and only switched this spring) had 30 kids and 2 teams- youth 1 and junior 2/3. (i believe we had 3 cross overs most of the season and added a 4th toward the end) But they were FIERCE! Among their many many accomplishments were spiritfest, wsf, athletic championships and many many more national titles. In '09-10 their 12 girl youth team won nearly every comp they entered!
Actually, this past May, both teams won their divisions and were high point champs at Hershey Park. Ok, I know that all of these comps are 'regional' and nothing like Cheersport Atlanta but let's give credit where credit is due. . .
It's not the size of the team but the size of the teams heart that matters

P.S. It's so funny to me that many people who respond here have more teams than my cp had teammates!

Oh wow!

 

[Katybugmom]

16 teams or 16 athletes

 

[smcheerrr]

My gym has 7 teams and i want to say we have around 115-125 kids. Somewhere around there. We also have a half year team that's for little babies. like 3 year olds. They "compete" maybe twice. We have maybe 5 crossovers just for kids to fly on one team and base on the other.

 

[Mingo_VCE]

my gyms about 200 cheerleaders or more we have 13 teams pluse 4 dance teams!
but we also coach high schools and middle schools so that brings in about 150 more cheerleaders!)
we grew a lot this season!
