COST / TUITION
Competitive cheer, while not as costly as some youth
activities, can still be expensive. Before considering
CA or any program, please consider the financial
commitment involved. Cheer Athletics has the finest staff
and the most state-of-the-art facilities in our sport. As a
result, our fees are higher than many programs. However,
factoring competition entry fees, summer activities, and
other expenses that are typically charged separately at
many other gyms, you may end up spending more at
some other programs. Although others may advertise
lower rates, CA’s overall value per dollar is highly
competitive.

We have a comprehensive monthly price that covers
most of the expenses throughout the year. During
the 2022-23 season, there will be 12 monthly charges
beginning June 2022 through May 2023. The first months
tuition will be charged on or around Friday, June 10. For
the remaining months, tuition is payable on the 1st of        CHEER ATHLETICS helps push athletes to be the

a placement for an athlete, 100% of the tryout fee will be
credited back. If an athlete chooses to decline a roster
spot prior to June 15, the initial tuition month will be
credited back.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2022 TRYOUTS
We are so grateful for your loyalty to Cheer Athletics,
and we are thrilled to have multiple locations to
provide the best experience for your athlete and
family. However, we no longer allow athletes to try out
for multiple CA gyms at the same time, as that causes
disruption and confusion to our selection process.
Athletes will need to make clear your preferred gym and
that location will be the only one that places you on a
team. In the unlikely event an athlete wishes to transfer
to a different CA gym after team placement, they will
need to decline their spot with the original gym, then go
through the tryout process with the new gym.
