My little girl started cheering when she was 4 years old, and I can tell you the tumbling classes were always sorta lax, but practice never was. That year was a half year team and at 5 it was a full year team, and practices were always very serious. She just turned 6 and can do a BHS and below; all of which came from that serious practice.
If it helps any at 4 she was on a Mini 1 team, at 5 she was on a Tiny 1 team (the gym restructured and actually didn't have a Mini team that year, since all of the girl's made the Tiny cut off), and this year was on a Mini 1 team until she was pulled because we move this week. With her birthday, she could be a Tiny this year or Mini or Youth. I'd never let her go onto a Youth team, but I'd be fine with Tiny's or Mini's.
