All-Star Pleasant Surprises At Cheersport

What's even more inspiring and amazing about Laredo is how the owners keep the costs down for the parents. Tuition is $55/month and they don't have tryouts. Athletes are hand selected from their classes and invited to tryout. If you come from another gym you have to have 1 year experience in order to be placed. From their website:
To be selected as an All-Star for the 2014-2015 season, students must be enrolled at All American for three consecutive years and have a 90% attendance record.

That must really cut down on Susie and her mom gym hopping!

Kudos to the tuition price. I would love to see a full breakdown (i.e. are there enormous extra costs lumped onto that every month) and hear how the gym owners are able to keep it low!

I don't know that I agree with the tryout, or lack of tryout, stance they have. How does that work for kids new to the sport? You want my kid to come to 3 years of classes before she gets to see if she likes being on a team and doing all-star cheer? My junior aged daughter just decided she wants to cheer allstars instead of school, but can't because she won't have 3 years before she ages out? Maybe I'm mis-understanding. I do like that they're trying to curb gym hopping, but that seems a little extreme.

Awesome!

WHY DON'T MORE GYMS DO THIS? IT'S GENIUS!!!

If you get kids with crappy technique, you have 3 yrs to correct it! In the words of Weezy, "looooove it!!!"

Yes. I am quoting Dragon Tales.
