I just want to reiterate the 160$ tryout fee at our gym is a month tuition. So if you are staying at stars then in essence you weren't charged anything other then the tuition for the month. Current Stars people already pay that per month so there is technically no fee. This isn't in addition to the tuition, this is it. Ours is also going on for several weeks you come to every session so that's a little different as well.
Also I guess it's happened where a couple kids aren't happy where they are placed but generally I haven't known of people actually leaving that tried out.
Furthermore for instance I looked on like CA Austin since it's the closest known gym to us. They charge either 50$/or 60$ depending on registration and then once you make a team you pay tuition for that month.
So you are actually paying them more just to place you on a team so you can keep giving them money afterwards.
Pinnacle cheer on the opposite side of us ..which was big gym gone small after they lost a bunch of kids charge a 100 fee and that covers just tryouts no tuition, and it's only 1 day of tryouts not weeks. Then you still have to pay tuition also just for starting practice. Honestly with them being a smaller gym I thought it would be less but I think that's technically higher then all.
Ours covers you regardless and even if you don't stay at stars you got multiple practices and training out of it. Heck, I suppose you could keep going for 2 more weeks and then quit if you really wanted to get your money's worth although I think they want to know after placements if you are quitting. Lol
So what I'm saying is it's really hard just to compare amounts because it covers different things.
Technically ours is the cheapest because it's no additional fee that you are being charged just to be placed on a team, so if you actually stay then you are all set. The only people that would be negatively impacted by ours is people just trying out that don't stay.
Ok I'm probably making no sense but it does in my head!
